Photosynthesis

Dave Aftandilian Brilliantly evokes the wonder, mystery, and verdant terror of photosynthesis. Hammered dulcimer notes fall like drops of sunlight onto hungrily awaiting leaves. The lyrics peel back the veil, chloroplast to stroma to thylakoid, scientific descriptions intoned like holy scriptures of the alien Plantae. The alternating ferocity and tenderness of the music beautifully expresses the full range of human-plant relationships.

Nerve Salad Insta-buy. Anything Botanist releases goes right into my record collection. I doubt I have as much of a connection with a band's concept as I do with Botanist. Avant garde black metal-ish with a totally unique sound, and lyrical content I can get behind. Dark elemental metal, showing signs of growth. This sprout is becoming a massive tree.
