"The Ark Work," the latest offering from experimental metal band Liturgy is a complex and confusing mix of ideas and sounds. I don't even know where to begin. On top of the barest of black metal skeletons lies a barrage of instruments: bagpipes, synthesized horns, real horns, chanting, IDM beats, strings, and layers of guitar. Somewhere in the middle is a metal album? A pop album? I don't know, but the whole thing has me entranced. Get the record from Thrill Jockey and listen to "Quetzalcoatl" below.
