• "Sky Burial" by Rice Cultivation Society is an experimental Indie Folk album.
Songs usually start with a single guitar, and are quickly expounded upon by multiple instruments, piece by piece, eventually creating a warm mesh of sound upon which the vocals float on top of.
• At times it seems as if the electric guitar playing is a little sporadic, maybe it's just trying to show off all the notes it knows, but in songs like the title track it can get a little jumpy and distracting.
• I like RCS in their more acoustic incarnations, such as "calypso" or "bears staring at the universe", a track which manages to be pretty busy, but in a way that I think is more suitable to their style. Things definitely get rough towards the end of "bears staring at the universe", but it's an exciting kind of rough.
