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 Bouncing Souls, The Simplicity Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rise Records | 1LP Released 25th July 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bouncing Souls, The Simplicity £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rise Records SKU: RR3261 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dropkick Murphys Do Or Die Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Hellcat | 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £22.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Dropkick Murphys Do Or Die £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Hellcat SKU: 204071 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Militarie Gun Life Under The Gun Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Loma Vista | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd June 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Militarie Gun Life Under The Gun £30.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Loma Vista SKU: 7251218 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Izzy True Nope Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 5th August 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Izzy True Nope £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG117 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beach Baby No Mind No Money Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Island | 1LP Released 2nd September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beach Baby No Mind No Money £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Island SKU: 4798856 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Big D And The Kids Table Strictly Rude Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Side One Dummy | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 16th December 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big D And The Kids Table Strictly Rude £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Side One Dummy SKU: SD1328-1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Turnover Altogether Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Run For Cover Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st November 2019 £15.99 - £22.00 £22.00 Select options Turnover Altogether £15.99 - £22.00 £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Run For Cover Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View T.S.O.L A-Side Graffiti Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Kitten Robot Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd March 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders T.S.O.L A-Side Graffiti £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Kitten Robot Records SKU: KR20233LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Green Day Nimrod 25th Anniversary Edition Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Reprise | 5LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th January 2023 £136.00 - £150.00 Select options Green Day Nimrod 25th Anniversary Edition £136.00 - £150.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Reprise Formats: 5LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jetboy Born To Fly Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Frontiers | 1LP Released 25th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jetboy Born To Fly £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Frontiers SKU: FRLP908 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
