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 Uniform Choice Screaming For Change Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Southern Lord | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th January 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Uniform Choice Screaming For Change £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Southern Lord SKU: LORD233LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Public Image Limited Flowers Of Romance (Japanese SACD) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Univeral | SACD Released 18th June 2020 £50.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Public Image Limited Flowers Of Romance (Japanese SACD) £50.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Univeral SKU: nn206295 Formats: SACD Released Date: 18th June 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Handguns Disenchanted Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Pure Noise | 1LP Released 13th November 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Handguns Disenchanted £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Pure Noise SKU: PNE1791 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Great Grandpa Four of Arrows Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 1LP Released 25th October 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Great Grandpa Four of Arrows £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM265V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Healing Potpourri Blanket Of Calm Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Run For Cover Records | 1LP Released 12th June 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Healing Potpourri Blanket Of Calm £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Run For Cover Records SKU: RFC208LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jerry Cantrell Degradation Trip 1 & 2 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Music On Vinyl | 4LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th February 2019 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jerry Cantrell Degradation Trip 1 & 2 £42.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2344C Formats: 4LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pianos Become The Teeth The Lack Long After Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP Released 22nd May 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pianos Become The Teeth The Lack Long After £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: TSR051LPPMI Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Supersuckers Suck It Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Steamhammer | 1LP Released 21st September 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Supersuckers Suck It £27.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Steamhammer SKU: 287291 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DFL Proud To Be – 20th Anniversary Edition Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 28th July 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DFL Proud To Be – 20th Anniversary Edition £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 0045778645312 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Violin Sect Violin Sect Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Minimum Table Stacks | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 10th February 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Violin Sect Violin Sect £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Minimum Table Stacks SKU: MTS-02 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 10th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
