Norway's Ulver have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for going for an experimental. and electronic form of synth rock and this is a review of their 2024 album "Liminal Animals" which will be released on November 29th by House Of Mythology.
Electronic music sounds and programmed beats start off the album along with some synths a few seconds later. Vocals are done in more of a clean style while the recording also gets very experimental sounding at times as well as some elements of ambient also being utilized quite a bit throughout the tracks.
Electric guitars are also a very huge part of the album while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Real drums and percussion can also be heard on some of the tracks along with each song also sounding very different from each other and touches of trip hop are also added into certain sections of the recording.
One song also introduced trumpets onto the album along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. They also bring in a couple of instrumentals as well as some whispered vocals also being utilized briefly, spoken word parts and female vocals are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover poetry, sorrow, humanity and historical themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ulver and if you are a fan of their more recent experimental material, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ghost Entry" Locusts" and "Helian". 8 out of 10.
