Ekhidna is meant to be played good and loud through speakers, but it’s also an album that rewards close listening through headphones.
7th August 2020
While Mollestad’s melodic sensibilities are strong, she also excels in writing purely raw riffs; the track ‘A Stone’s Throw’ has hints of modern psychedelia like Earthless via jazzy syncopation and fusion chops, though where Mollestad’s music differentiates itself is by eschewing the straight 4/4 beats and lack of chord progressions, bringing less predictable rhythms and deeper harmonic colour to the sound.
