Zach Hill - Face Tat

Review by Philip Bloomfield

You can’t imagine anyone else releasing something like this and possibly getting away with it. Which is all part of the charm. »

'face tat' is clearly a zach hill production, a spiraling psychedelic soup concocted by a man who's used to everything happening at 380 bpm. the legendary drummer comes into his own here, revelling in the chance to show off his songwriting. "on face tat, hill puts as much focus on his oddball, malformed songs as on his world-class musicianship, resulting in an album that feels more compact, slightly less metallic, and altogether more fun. each of these songs is shot through with hill's distinctive personality and the restless, athletic agility of his drumming, forming a cohesive whole despite the music's frequent hairpin turns and switchbacks" pitchfork.
