"I knew I liked Bodhi Syurfs, but come on! This release is so crazy good! On his last release, Bodhi Syurfs was content to swirl these big dark clouds of crushing drone and if you were able to see the wonder through the noise then there was a lot to play around with. On his latest album Midnight Premiere he almost basically starts from scratch and builds a solid collection of songs that feels like a noirish California nightmare.
Now don’t be mistaken, Bodhi Syurfs is still all about the noise, but here he adds some coherent lyricism (emphasis on “some”) and it all smacks of a stab at accessibility. If I had to compare it to something I would say that it’s not in an entirely different universe as Alex Zhang Hung-Tai’s Dirty Beaches (when he was content to make camp on the noisier side of town). It’s a dark journey to a shady place where the ghosts of the past still linger amongst the living. Sure the hairs might stand on the back of your neck, but who doesn’t like that feeling?! If this at all sounds appealing to you then please take the journey. It is time well spent" (Hell: cactusmouth.tumblr.com)
