"Lost Tribe Sound presents the new album from William Ryan Fritch (aka Vieo Abiungo). It's as if it were the lost score for the Genesis, or alternately an epic tale of man versus his underlying destructive nature. Sure that's heavy, and so is this music. This is no funeral dirge, though. It is a gorgeous wordless opera of sorts, at times head-noddingly rhythmical and dense, filled with bright visceral melodies, and at others, slowly paced, dark and introspective. The beauty and genius are found in the rapid emotional shifts and absolutely innovative style in which this album commands attention.
Strange and non-linear, exotic and alive: Fritch's idiosyncratic orchestration and wide range of instrumentation provides the album with a surreal sense of looseness and unpredictability that is anchored just frequently enough by instinctive rhythms and succinct melodies. The music from And the World is Still Yawning is bound together by an uncommon, naturalistic energy allowing pieces of both great exuberance and palpable melancholy to flow seamlessly into one another. Mastered by the infamous Miles Whittaker (Demdike Stare), the latest Vieo Abiungo album is dark, bold, and beautiful music. It stands alone.
