Dark Noontide is the third full-length release from Six Organs of Admittance. While listeners were pleasantly surprised by Ben Chasny's out-of-nowhere acid-folk genius on earlier releases, Dark Noontide comes in a notch or two higher with another spectacular merging of dreamy, hypnotic, finger-picked melodies and psychedelia concrète, not to mention some very fine fuzz guitar. Eight incredible tracks seamlessly blend powerful blues foot-stomp, backward interludes, strange strings feedback, dark, tabla-infused vibrations, and the amazing debut of Chasny's electric guitar as a lead instrument. Minds can only be blown by this album. Initiation is only a matter of time. This is the dream follow-up release that fans of Six Organs of Admittance have been waiting for.
