At its best, Astrological Straits is a mashup of Liars tribalism, Boredoms bombast, Smell-scene art-punk, Lightning Bolt repeti-grooves, and Frank Zappa prog-overload. All this sonic hyperactivity can be exhausting, and Hill's fondness for effects, especially in his Vocoder-ish vocals, makes some tracks robotic, more like exercises than songs. Even when Hill makes questionable moves, like blurting clichés on opener "Iambic Strays" ("That's my name/ Don't wear it out") or ending with an indulgent prog-metal blast featuring Primus' Les Claypool on bass, his music exudes a geeky charm. And his final gambit, a bonus one-track disc, is a total winner.

Zach Hill ‎– Astrological Straits. Label: Anticon ‎– ABR0086. A really great experimental album. It is definitely not Zach Hill's best, but it is great nonetheless. I am quite disappointed in my physical copy, which has very noticeable surface noise in certain tracks, including "Dart Art", which seems to have some odd lack of clarity and cymbal reverb that is definitely not in the digital version. I'm fairly certain that the newer copies of this album are not originals and I am assuming that this is why the master sounds poor at some points. Many tracks are fine though.

Album Astrological Straits. Astrological Straits Lyrics. When they got back they could breathe underwater From racing the black cat and letting it win They summoned the moon from the sky into the apartment And frequented tunnels that don't have an end. How low can this really know? How slow can this all go? How fast can the grass grow? How far out did you wanna go? It cut my throat on the curve of the earth Took me apart, see how it works Out in the era with eyes in the back of its head Back on the ground, can't remember what they said.

A really great experimental album. It is definitely not Zach Hill's best, but it is great nonetheless. I am quite disappointed in my physical copy, which has very noticeable surface noise in certain tracks, including "Dart Art", which seems to have some odd lack of clarity and cymbal reverb that is definitely not in the digital version. I'm fairly certain that the newer copies of this album are not originals and I am assuming that this is why the master sounds poor at some points. Many tracks are fine though. I can't really recommend a physical copy of this album unless you can get one that is definitely an original due to these issues and the omission of "Necromancer" from the all of the vinyl pressings.

Can anyone confirm if this is actually limited to 1000 copies? It seems a little too common to only have that many copies in circulation. I know Fucked Up Friends by Tobacco, another album on Anticon, was originally limited to 1000 copies on vinyl but they ended up pressing more quietly when the second hand prices shot up.

Of course, only two years after I ask this, the price starts shooting up.

I bought this record today knowing zach only through his work through Death Grips and Hella, but I must say that this is an absolute monster of an album. It channels the energy of Hella while adding a personal twist only Zach Hill can do. Be on the lookout for a copy.
