Fossils truly boast the sound of an underground. They act underground, they breathe underground, they sweat underground. Like Double Leopards, Family Underground, Wolf Eyes during ?River Slaughter?, Fossils is a primary example of how this beautiful, murky horror lives up to it?s name.

On ?Resurrection?, Fossils craft a soundworld that could easily be placed few miles below the earth?s soil. In fact, for the first two tracks they sound like they?re situated just below some tunnel digging activity, you can hear the truck tires having difficulty with the clay and the swoosh of the drills pounding into ocean floor walls. Their muted approach, lo-fi as you may call it, make it a fascinating listen throughout.

On the following tracks the squelching effects, twisted vocal shards and pressurized drones supply an image of slowed down harsh noise. Much less confrontating but effective because it keeps twisting and twirling until you have no choice but to admit it into your system. The fourth, and longest track at nine minutes flat, shows Fossils somewhat struggling to keep it energized during the whole track. Completely immersed in their digital dust mire they tend to lose focus which eventually leads to a lack of suspense. But that?s only a minor complaint, ?Resurrection? makes for a fascinating trip through the dark alleys of the underground noise scene. Strangely comforting. 8/10 -- Joris Heemskerk (3 April, 2007)
