New album out today, go get it! It's fucking fantastic.
This track itself I wouldn't particularly like a lot, but Gavin Harrison's drumming on it is freaking incredible, so it turns it back around into pretty great. However the album as a whole is exactly what I'd expect and I am very very pleased. Particular standouts are the (un)comfortable Kevin Moore creepiness on "Cold Call" and the genuinely poignant and eerie "Wind Won't Howl". At this point OSI has really become a band more than a project/supergroup. Their sound is distinct and natural, and while Moore does seem to be very much in the driver's seat, it's great to have Matheos' guitar fuzz and Harrison's jazzy drumming balance out his usual weirdness into something more properly progressive and musical.
Awesome news.

I found Atra a few days ago, haven't really been able to dig up much, but what i've found is pretty damn good
