Like a lucid dream while sleeping on silk sheets on a beach in the middle of nowhere, Methyl Ethyl’s Oh Inhuman Spectacle is a smooth, ethereal soundscape of catchy, lilting pop heaven.
Hailing from the musical Graceland that is Western Australia, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Jake Webb’s androgynous voice floats effortlessly over reverbed guitar and a rhythm section of drums and bass so perfectly entangled with one another it’s hard not to hear a bit of Fleetwood Mac.
There is something addictive in this album as a whole. Each song is connected by some thematic or tonal tissue that begs for repeat listens and the grooves are so hypnotic you lose the feeling of time passing. Methyl Ethyl have continued the tradition of Western Australian bands blowing our minds with something fresh in Oh Inhuman Spectacle and we can’t wait to see what’s next
