| | A miniature masterpiece of thousands of amplified crickets, Glossolalia is melk The G6-49's finest moment. Recorded over three days, the bass and drum duo have composed an album that comes off sounding like a Christian Marclay-ed Melvins 12" crossfaded with a Ruins cover of Music for Airports. Hiss, trashy cymbals and 4-string bass blasts spasm and flop with no room for other sound. Melk have pursued their heavy-noise ambient methods with only John Spencer's electric bass and Karl Hofstetter's drums. Melk have added new options to the "loud-soft-loud" formula incorporating long stretches of near silence and slight feedback with non-linear compositional structures. Working in an emotionally and sonically intimate territory that is more normally associated with small free jazz ensembles. This album captures the groups most complex and well developed material to date; clearly showing two years of progression since 2002's s/t album. Co-released by Sounds Are Active.

"...impossible to adequately describe in words."
Nuvo "Simply breathtaking."
Smother "...a caustic, uncomfortable record, but that seems to be the point."
1340 Mag "The first time I put this disc in my stereo, I had no freaking clue what the hell was going on."
Delusions Of Adequacy "Melk the G6-49 sound like an eighty pound weight falling from some unreasonable height. (7.8 out of 10)"
Michael Kaufmann, Bandoppler Magazine "Glossolalia is not something that would make it on anyone's "party album" list, and that is part of the beauty of the record. This is a disc to pick up when you want to focus on what you are hearing, a little mysterious and a little unapproachable, Melk have created an album that makes you work for what you hear."
