I listened to it too late, but it's retroactively on my top 10 list. Utterly fantastic. Nowherer was an eyeopener for me, but Dance You Monster To My Soft Song! is like a revelation.

fantastic new album, completely different from any of her earlier stuff, but just as intriguing; i find myself newly fascinated with microtonal music and compelled to explore a lot more of it. if you haven’t read this interview with her, i strongly recommend it: https://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2021/04/22/exclusive-premiere-interview-experience-microtonal-black-metal-bliss-with-victory-over-the-suns-nowherer/ she elaborates a lot on why she used a 17-note scale for the album, and how it changed (and didn’t change) her creation process. it’s also a fascinating read, and Vivian and the interviewer have given me several new artists and works to listen to at some point. (it will probably take me months, if not a year, just to absorb Jute Gyte’s discography; Adam Kalmbach is absurdly prolific.)

dunno how i never heard of her before, but this is mind-blowing stuff. strongly reminded of ved buens ende and older kayo dot (and sometimes deathspell omega) on recent material, and older bosse-de-nage on the cichy duch album, but she very much has her own voice on all of her music as well. also, i’m really digging the production on the latest album; finally, an avant-garde metal album where the instruments all have sufficient space to breathe. the dynamic range on this is incredible and really opens up the music in a way a lot of recent metal albums have been lacking; even in the louder passages, the music might get incredibly dissonant and harsh, but it never feels claustrophobic. on the other hand, it always feels beautiful to me (but i find deathspell’s fas consistently beautiful, too, so take that with a grain of salt). in any case, this is incredible, life-changing stuff. it’s early days yet, but i could easily see this being my 2020 aoty. i’m in awe.

"the music might get incredibly dissonant and harsh, but it never feels claustrophobic." Nailed it, that's one of the things that blew me away about Tessitura. With a band like DsO the chaos is kept in check by highly structured arrangement or composition, but with her the chaos is subdued by the production instead. It's like the difference between being in a tornado and seeing it from afar through binoculars. Next-level shit right here

I agree with both of you very much. E.g., while I love bands like Imperial Triumphant, I can only really enjoy them in concert. At home, if I don't concentrate 100% on the music, I'll get a headache. Tessitura has elevated atonal avantgarde metal for me.
