There’s nobody like CURRENT 93. DAVID TIBET‘s long-running project occupies its own unique place in the universe, and he’s no compunctions about leaving the doors open and letting anyone inside. Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain is as mysterious and alluring as anything Tibet’s done. Joined by old cohorts (NURSE WITH WOUND‘s STEVEN STAPLETON, ANDREW LILES, KEITH WOOD, BABY DEE) and new friends (JAMES BLACKSHAW, MATT SWEENEY, RICKIE LEE JONES, porn star SASHA GREY, even party-hearty rocker ANDREW W.K.), Tibet conjures another mysterious journey full of psychedelic wraiths, hallucinatory textures, arcane poetry, religious mysticism and the leader’s distinctive declamatory wisp of a vocal presence. The amazing thing about Current 93 projects is that all the elements are present that could lead to an embarrassingly pretentious disaster. But somehow, through the grace of talent, discipline and the God to which Tibet is so lovingly devoted, everything always comes together in a dazzling mosaic of artistic experimentalism and otherworldly beauty. The brilliant and bizarre Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain is no exception. Play attention to that beckoning hand.
