Intelligent, attentive and meticulous, the second full-length from Perth’s The Autumn Isles marks a pivotal point in their long-standing musical exploration. Alex Arpino’s songwriting touches on the macabre and the pensive, though it’s worth noting that the group has maintained a strong grasp on their origins as well, much to their credit. A Bird Called Cognition is consistently invigorating and leads the listener firmly by the hand, the compositions emphatically directing themselves in unexpected and delightful directions.
