Acollective‘s name is rather apropos considering the 7-piece’s’s dynamic line up that sees members playing instruments across the board. A lot has happened for the Israeli outfit in the 3 years since their debut ‘Onwards‘, including performances at SXSW and Glastonbury, but their latest offering ‘Pangea‘ may well represent their defining moment.
Over the space of 12 songs the band offer an array of directions without ever sounding like they are losing the plot. As such the transition from the detached and introspective opener “OTM” into the band’s legitimate stormer “Breakapart” and back to their enticingly delicate “Happiest Of Memorial Days” does not sound forced but rather refreshingly varied.With so much goodness on display within the first 3 tracks it is almost impossible to pick a standout moment but Pangea, like the continent it is named after, moves along in unision screaming for repeat listens.
