'elixirs' is guapo's third full-length album. vocal contributions on the album include swans chanteuse jarboe and dark experimental folk artist alexander tucker. 'elixirs' transcends any musical antecedents that guapo have been acknowledged for in the past. instead, the music here explores the outer-most regions of psychedelic composition. flickers of popol vuh, this heat, magma, third ear band, moondog and early 70's miles davis are present here as over-arching themes are morphed and mined through serpentine asymmetrical structures. chiming rounds and canons swim through a sapphirine ocean of polyrhythmic mantra. all sullenly overcast with compositions so mercurial, the paths you can take are infinite. the dense orchestration and finespun virtuosity (seamlessly captured by engineer / producer antti uusimaki) create a richness previously hinted at but never fully realized until now. beautiful hi-gloss artwork in digipak with o-card.
