mattogravy It's awesome in the sense that, you're in awe, like those violent apes were at the beginning of that long-ass Kubrick movie

brit_b Dense prog Rock - the real prog Rock ...as opposed to Genesis or YES, of the RIO variety (Art Bears Henry Cow, and Thinking Plague of whom they borrowed their singer). A rewarding purchase! Favorite track: Penguins on Dizengoff.

Denni Boger The feel good album of the week. The tapping in track two has a real Carmen Fandangos in Space vibe. That's a good thing. Favorite track: Thoroughly Modern Attila.

TurboMon Intricate dissonance with sinister sonic soundscapes that stimulate the imagination. Feels almost like a journey through hell but in a detached way as there is always this feeling of hope/resolution around the corner, only to plunge back into the abyss. Love the conceptual roller-coaster ride!

PDD Gripping and very theatrical, like the soundtrack to a horror movie I definitely do not want to see. Favorite track: Thoroughly Modern Attila.

about

Abandonship is the 5uu’s sixth release. It features compositions, lyrics, and multi-instrumentation by Kerman, vocals by Deborah Perry (Thinking Plague) & sound sculpting by Udi Koomran. It is a emotionally intense, densely-layered, and compositionally complex work, inspired by such dark R.I.O. bands as Univers Zero and Present, and a logical progression of the 5uu’s multi-faceted, prismatic sound.

"The results are mesmerizing...Kerman is still the unsung shaman of unbridled convolution..perched on a precipice high enough to make most indie rockers appear ant-sized."
-Alternative Press.

"...a frighteningly coherent statement that with time should eventually stand as one of Rock In Opposition's finest momements"
-Expose.
