about

"It seems like a lifetime since the release of 2011’s Learns To Love Mistakes, the jaw-dropping debut from Absolutely. That record summoned the ghosts of ’90s Midwest emo and hardcore; its follow-up, 2014’s Cannot Find, staked out more introspective territory. Now, four years later, comes Plays Pillory Crown Shyness, an altogether knottier, moodier, and more instrumental collection of math-y post-punk that demands your attention—and repeat listens. Everything sounds incredible (dig the glowering roller coaster that is “Stone”) and unexpected instrumental flourishes appear throughout: a lovely piano outro here (“Son”), a haunting melodica stab there (“Pipeline Lament”). There’s even time for a gorgeous wash of sound (“Crown Shyness”) before a five-minute descent into musical madness (“Deep Web Noir”). Even if Absolutely takes another four years to release a record, there’s plenty to chew on here." Milwaukee Record, 25 Best Milwaukee Albums of 2018
