The enduring Australian band’s twenty-sixth album, The Hypnagogue, might well be termed a return to form, except that, even as it incorporates new recruits, the band picks right up where it left off with 2017’s Man Woman Life Death Infinity.
Given the otherworldly atmosphere of The Church’s recordings, it’s an intriguing prospect to anticipate the Australian quartet in concert and find out how they replicate the density of their music in the spirit of the moment.
Any musician with a well-defined style must also be the consummate recording artist to prevent with each successive recording from sounding like mere repetition of it predecessor. The Church are artists of just that caliber and their latest album, untitled #23, bears evidence to those high standards.
