"Is there anything Aidan Baker ever did that disappointed you?" my wife asked. I had to think about it, think hard. I've listened to countless of albums and projects by Baker and I've seen him perform more than I've seen venues over the years. Eventually, I remembered two gigs at Incubate, including one with Caudal. I remember not being very enthusiastic about it. It was the first time I saw them live and I wasn't sure what to expect. Besides, Caudal is a band that needs to grow on people. Eventually, the trio grew on me too, and now I'm happy to present their latest work.

'Let's All Take The Yellow Pills' contains three vintage krautrock instrumentals with steady drumming, immersive bass lines and atmospheric guitars. Opener 'Piquet' is a highly danceable piece of music, driving on an up-tempo beat and groovy bass. There is something hypnotic in the repetitive but gently approach, something which will cause a lot of people to close their eyes and start shoegazing the night away.

My favorite on is the slowest track 'Dissolute'. Basically, it contains similar ingredients as the other two but it's slower, just like I prefer my own bolognese sauce over fast food any time. In my opinion, slower is better and that definitely counts for music. 'Dissolute' is pure beauty, period. The album closes with the mid-tempo 'Ion', which will get your dancing shoes going again. Fans of Caudal definitely can't go wrong with this one. Check it out, you'll be dancing and tripping before you know it...
