There's an element of unpredictability to Celestial Shore's songs. On first listen the delicate vocal harmonies are bound to lull you into a false sense of security before jarring tempo changes or straight up noise freakouts pull you out of the trance. Cel Shore manages to nail a delicate balance between those two extremes, and never feels like other bands that are more etude than attitude when it comes to elaborate song structure. Their live show still manages to be loose all while they pull off their labyrinthian tunes with impeccable precision - it's a joy to see and yet another duality for this complex trio. Their new LP 10x is out now on Hometapes -LC
