Taak - Läbi halli kivi, CD

Taak’s sophomore output, the vintage-studio-recorded and analogue mixed sequel to “Koerapööriöö” (2006) is weirder, more oppressive and haunting. The embittered wit, the spirit of classic doom rock and the decades-old approach are still there, but tinged with juicier sound, aplomb for experimentation and compositional maturity. “Läbi halli kivi” (‘Through Stone of Gray’) is a combination of dystopian future inferno, omphaloskeptic purgatory and restrospective nostalgia paradise.
