over 40 years after the freak-folk band released First Utterance, widely regarded (at least on the internet) as pretty fucking classic, Comus have actually put out another album. it's about what you'd expect; the first three songs, being entirely new material, aren't as dark as on their first album (though The Sacrifice comes pretty close and rules) while The Maalgard Suite, a 15-minute song from 1972, would be excellent if the quality wasn't so mediocre. but it's still a pretty good album and it makes me smile if only because it sounds like they're having a hell of a time with the new songs.
