Absent are the scrunchy chords and rhythmic temper-tantrums that made Broad Shoulders, the Gainesville band’s first full-length, so mesmerizing. In their stead, Mediumship favors dynamics and depth and space to explore. Songs like “Mad Frustrated” feature the sorts of twisted guitar leads that worm into one’s subconsciousness. On topsy-turvy tracks like “Pelican Fly,” the guitars totter against a snapping, spurring drumbeat; here, singer Steven Gray’s voice seems softer, but much more versatile and stirring than on previous recordings. These songs haunt, to say the least, maybe because the band has nudged melody further to the forefront. It’s only during subsequent listens that one realizes how moody Dikembe’s melodies actually are—that the band is unsatisfied with this either/or. It manifests in the swaying sparkle of “Hood Rat Messiah,” which bursts into a smoldering chorus, and in Gray’s screech during the stormy, swirling chorus of “Las Vegas Weather.” On “Snakes in my Path,” though, it comes from feedback that rises like a sunset haze, chords that drone like a tree of cicadas—the sounds that swell behind the melody—at which point it becomes clear that the band is no less noisy than on their preceding releases, just more strategic. Then, of course, songs like “Donuts in a Six Speed” spin the listener with its scrunchy chords and rhythmic temper-tantrums, revealing Dikembe as band that has mastered their sound and Mediumship shows them flexing their musical muscles. – Dane Erbach Artist Dikembe Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Tiny Engines Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Gatefold Sleeve Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Gatefold Sleeve , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Even Bother Hood Rat Messiah Pelican Fly Las Vegas Weather Snakes In My Path 24 Karats Mad Frustrated Donuts In A Six Speed Gets Harder Throw Lips Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Fits All Belief is Paradise Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Father/Daughter Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fits All Belief is Paradise £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Father/Daughter Records SKU: FD059LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aerial East Try Harder Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Partisan Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th February 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aerial East Try Harder £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Partisan Records SKU: PTKF2179-1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sugar The Joke Is Always On Us, Sometimes Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Demon | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th March 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sugar The Joke Is Always On Us, Sometimes £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Demon SKU: DEMREC647 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Restorations LP3 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Side One Dummy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th November 2014 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Restorations LP3 £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Side One Dummy SKU: SD15501 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dan Andriano & The Bygones Dear Darkness Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dan Andriano & The Bygones Dear Darkness £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 278871 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Billy Talent Crisis Of Faith – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Spinefarm Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th May 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billy Talent Crisis Of Faith – Indies Only Coloured Vinyl £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Spinefarm Records SKU: SPINE832934 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ride Interplay Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Wichita | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th March 2024 £27.00 - £30.00 Select options Ride Interplay £27.00 - £30.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Wichita Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th March 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Fire Testament Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rune Grammofon | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd February 2024 £23.00 - £24.00 Select options Fire Testament £23.00 - £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rune Grammofon Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Daddy’s Boy Great News Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Drunken Sailor | 1LP Released 23rd December 2022 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daddy’s Boy Great News £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Drunken Sailor SKU: DRUNKENSAILOR154 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View AFI All Hallow’s E.P.
