Mammock is the most recent album by Russian post rock group Ruins!Ruins!. A very extensive record, more than one hour long, it has nine tracks: Serene, Hurricane, Distress, Grab, Arch, Kurta, Szorstki, Collumns and Polynya. With soft and poetic tendencies, a colorful flavor that gives to its modular nodes the surreal peculiarities of harmoniously playful idiosyncrasies, this record is the increasingly velvet transfiguration of an everlasting afternoon perpetually frozen in the surface of the universe. With smooth melodies, and a predominantly transcendental atmosphere that gives to its notes the lenient exaggeration of a formidable delusion, Mammock is an astonishingly formidable album, curiously unique. With wonderfully texturized melodies, converging to a lancinating path of primordial intonations, the excruciatingly intense harmonies filtrate the dilacerations of an existence that floats invisible through the sound, in a sagacious journey of sentimental completeness and vicissitude.
With a genuine perception of priorities, preordained by a mature sense of principles, the melodies conduct the rhythms to a point of immoderation, where everything is highlighted according to the nature of a higher level of musical saturation. With a sonorous intricacy that subtlety disperses the whispers of its amalgamated dissonances, the striking result will be the curious profusion of a marvelous atmosphere of wonderful cosmogonies, where the musical rapture concedes to the axis of its inherent strength the colossal predisposition of a symptomatic ascendancy.
Since the album is too long, though, it can be quiet annoying, although this fact doesn’t diminishes its artistic greatness in any way, whatsoever. With a formidable sense of originality, applied in a respectful degree to masterful technical abilities that amplifies its creative scope, Mammock is a very good album, that not only honors the post rock genre, but expands the vicinities, patterns and structures of its musical range.
A great album that certainly diffuses and rearranges the musical probabilities of the genre, as well as having a beauty of its own, Mammock is a true celestial triumph, despite its share of excessively uniform and monotonous passages. Nevertheless, it’s quite an artistic achievement!
