Utilizing a more tribal and psych-folk approach than the noise/metal onslaught of some of Worldeater’s other collaborators, Northern Liberties eschews the use of blunt force and instead creates a guitarless acid punk that works. Inventive arrangements and an array of effects, not to mention the surreal art of the lyrics, combine to create a unique and compelling entity. “Featureless Observer” has a nice touch of Specimen to it, “Monument” and the vibrant “Love Dove” are standouts, and the album comes with four bonus tracks including a remix of “Uniform” by labelmate Twentyagon, a pair of trippy “extractions” and a live recording of “Monarch.” Think “After the War”-era U.K. Subs, add a dose, and there you have it. Comes with some great cover art and an amazing B&W CD booklet centerpiece that’s like a female version of Blinko’s Peni art, all by (I think) AgentA.
