Liquid Casing is what happens when Miles Davis teams up with Mars Volta to run Russian Circles around Mogwai during a Godspeed You! Black Emperor performance.

What the hell does that even mean?

This music is EPIC.

Imagine a wall of sound taking your body hostage while precisely crafted lyrics begin to create a divide in your intellect.

You hit repeat only to uncover another layer you missed before.

Suddenly you realize this is more than music. This is a message.

Liquid Casing’s new album, A Separate|Divide, explores the politics of division and seeks to expose our lack of unity and its consequences. Composed of 9 tracks that sonically weave in and out of each other, a broad picture is painted of Man’s exploitative use of arbitrary divides.

I could not have stated that any better so that quote comes from their EPK.

One minute you are in the middle of a progressive-post-punk explosion and out of nowhere comes the singing of brass. Jazz style saxophone weaving in and out of distorted guitars layered with keys and a wall of drums followed by thumping bass lines….WOW!!

When the calming of Checkpoints and Borders begins soothing the speakers, you are ready to be carried away by the powerful, soulful voice of Alvaro Rodriguez (lead vocals and guitar).

He is joined by Okikiolu Olufokunbi (Sax/Keys), Jim Stettner (Bass/Vocals), and John Pitale (Drums/Percussion) to create the force known as Liquid Casing (of Houston, Texas).

Other tracks to note are: A Path of Footprints Forged in the Midnight Sun, Fingerprint Armada, and I am really digging Non Linear Solution and An End To a Means.

Out of 9 tracks I have named half the album as favorite songs…
