Dramatic, emotive, and inflamed, Cursed Month, the debut recording from guitarist-composer Lingyuan Yang, enshrouds the listener in a raging delirium. The oblique signatures, jarring shrills and fierce dissonance produce a tension and polarization that touches the listener's psyche, vibrating at the frequency of the subconscious. Segments of "Moondial" create an agitated spinning that mirrors feral currents and uncontrollable anxiety, while intervals of pounding and raging keys, performed by Shinya Lin across "Song of the Mist," whip up a maelstrom that sweeps over the resonating drum strikes of Asher Herzog. Reflected in the recording's title, Cursed Month refers to Chinese astrology, according to the press release, "whereby each of the Zodiac's constituent animal signs has an inauspicious month where it's unlucky to be born. It's therefore no surprise that there's a current of foreboding and tension to this record." The whirlwind momentum of the recording evokes the listener's attention, inquiring about the motivation behind the crazed shrills and raging delirium.
