Home Ruckus, the latest album by Tarentel, is a mesmerizing blend of post-rock, ambient, and experimental music that takes the listener on a sonic journey through a variety of moods and textures. The album's nine tracks are filled with lush soundscapes, intricate rhythms, and haunting melodies that create a sense of otherworldly beauty and mystery.
From the opening track "Home Ruckus" with its hypnotic guitar riffs and ethereal vocals, to the dreamy and atmospheric "Ghetto Beats on the Surface of the Sun," the album showcases Tarentel's ability to create intricate and immersive soundscapes. The band's use of unconventional instruments such as gamelan and marimba, as well as their skillful manipulation of electronic effects and ambient noise, adds to the album's unique and captivating sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Get Away From Me You Clouds of Doom," which features a driving rhythm section and soaring guitar lines that build to a thrilling climax. The track "All Things Vibrations" is another highlight, with its hypnotic percussion and haunting melodies that create a sense of otherworldly beauty and wonder.
