Kill Your Stereo

If you like your prog music with a high dosage of melody and ambience then The Contortionist is going to make you one happy listener. The band's latest effort 'Language' is one hell of a journey, one that'll take you up and down and around a musical landscape akin to something out of a fairy-tale. The sounds that resonate from 'Language' feel somewhat other-worldly and foreign, yet familiar. Shit, if that's just the band's studio presence, you can only imagine what it'd be like live! Ever one to find out, I caught up with Mike Lessard over Skype for a lovely chat about his upbringing in the music industry, the construction of The Contortionist's songs and their tour down under with sleepmakeswaves, amongst other things.

Come on in and give the new album from Acolyte a stream or two before it's release this Friday.
