Sure, it is always a lousy support to describe an Ae album. But is the best one can use to get an idea of the sound. Because there are no other comparisons possible. Otherwise, it would be like: The new Ae album sounds like dfdfsaddflcv dfdsfchcv skghjpuroer krkkkkkkxxxkxxkkkrrrrrrrrr boom.
And I didn't really want to compare the new album in the way that it actually sounds like the others. I think - like all Ae albums so far - Exai has something from all the past releases Ae have done, melted and reformed to a new form. Ae has always been about progress and process.
You can still hear the source and reminders but nonetheless, Exai is new and a f***ing great whirlwind in my ears.
