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 Juiceboxxx Freaked Out American Loser Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dangerbird Records | 1LP Released 28th July 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Juiceboxxx Freaked Out American Loser £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dangerbird Records SKU: DGB147V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bright Eyes Digital Ash In A Digital Urn: A Companion Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dead Oceans | 1LP Released 11th November 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bright Eyes Digital Ash In A Digital Urn: A Companion £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC310LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thurston Moore Trees Outside The Academy (Remastered) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Daydream Library Series | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th July 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thurston Moore Trees Outside The Academy (Remastered) £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Daydream Library Series SKU: DLS03 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Front Bottoms, The The Front Bottoms Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Bar None Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Picture Disc Released 29th October 2021 £20.00 - £24.00 Select options Front Bottoms, The The Front Bottoms £20.00 - £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Bar None Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Picture Disc Released Date: 29th October 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View El Ten Eleven Tautology Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Joyful Noise Recordings | 3LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 18th September 2020 £34.00 - £37.00 Select options El Ten Eleven Tautology £34.00 - £37.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Joyful Noise Recordings Formats: 3LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th September 2020 Read More Select options On Sale View Product Quick View Pale Angels Primal Play Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Specialist Subject | 1LP Released 8th September 2014 £7.99 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pale Angels Primal Play £7.99 £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Specialist Subject SKU: SPS021 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th September 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mojave Phone Booth Hollow the Numbers Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Label 51 | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st December 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mojave Phone Booth Hollow the Numbers £28.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Label 51 SKU: LAB51005 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Band Of Skulls By Default Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | BMG Rights Management | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd May 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Band Of Skulls By Default £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 538196771 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Can Kicker Can Kicker Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Drunken Sailor | 1LP Released 10th March 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Can Kicker Can Kicker £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Drunken Sailor SKU: DRUNKENSAILOR153 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bad Religion All Ages Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 26th May 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bad Religion All Ages £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 264431 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
