Review: Triclops! – Out Of Africa

Let me just start by saying that Out Of Africa is fun but often difficult to listen to. It is not without merit, but the freaked-out combination of spastic hardcore and crazed-prog rock is utterly dizzying at times. The music turns quickly with sharp dynamic shifts and moves from only gently warped to frenetically abrasive faster than you can say Mars Volta ripoff. And although there are many instantly apparent similarities between San Fransisco’s Triclops! and The Mars Volta, Triclops! does without the Latin influences and tends to freak out a little more while actually keeping things a little more concise. I’m not sure that last statement makes any sense, but neither does Out Of Africa. It is a striking and forceful statement that is only formulaic if the formula is chaos. If you like ATDI or The Mars Volta, give this a spin.
