Angel Marcloid’s disorienting fusion of new age, screamo, breakcore, and smooth jazz is what might happen if you mapped progressive rock onto life in the internet era. It isn’t just the technical complexity (the shifting rhythms of “Mantra - Ing & Golgotha: Double - Bind [Prequel]”) or sense of fantasy and mythmaking (imagine yourself astride a unicorn to the sound of “Paraclete Bhishajyati”), but the way she leaves her stylistic doors open to seemingly everything while retaining the obsessive precision of a model-kit builder. (Her god is certainly in the details.) And in the same way ’70s prog-rockers pined for the ancient futures of Atlantis, Marcloid’s music conjures a chaotic paradise of cheap meditation music and badly made personal websites already so dim in the cultural rearview, it would take a truly nostalgic heart to bring it back to life.
