Awolnation - Megalithic Symphony

An ice cold record that's immensely satisfying and thrilling in the same breath...

Rating: 9

What’s cooler than being cool? Best ask Awolnation as they’re about to go stellar. Currently burning up the playlists of media outlets around the globe with haunting ADD anthem ‘Sail’, the album itself is made up of various disparate elements that conspire to create a satisfying whole. Each track possesses a unique energy and sound, from the synth-heavy ‘Soul Power’ to the great ball of fire that is ‘Burn It Down’, Aaron Bruno has crafted a work that’s both immediate and offers long-term thrills, seemingly effortlessly. In bygone times he would be drowned as a witch for this kind of magic.
