Dances / Curses, the thirteenth album from Hey Colossus, captures the dualities of life in a loud rock band while pushing creative boundaries. Formed from intensive, intuitive sessions, the double album spans infectious grooves (“Donkey Jaw”, “Medal”), slow-burning atmospherics (“U Cowboy”), and a 15-minute motorik odyssey (“A Trembling Rose”). Guest Mark Lanegan adds weight to the sun-soaked closer, “The Mirror.” Far from indulgent, this sprawling yet focused work reflects 18 years of constant evolution, landing as the band’s most ambitious and transformative release to date.
