Nice tinymixtapes review for the Excavacations split with Black Eagle Child:

jbsportfolio:

Black Eagle Child/Excavations - split [Paramita; 2012]

I awoke from a strange dream, one where I didn’t dissolve into thinly veiled clichés about two artists working so well together when paired on a split. But I realized I woke into a nightmare, because here I am about to uncontrollably write that the pairing of BEC and Excavations on a split cassette is a no-brainer. And that’s what we received from the un-terrible twosome. BEC’s Michael Jantz continues to blossom into a versatile guitarist, easy in experimentation and pop musics, while Excavations likewise dig out a heap of catchy pop-laced whirlwinds. And the guitar prowess at work on both sides is mindboggling, to the point that we should all just give up trying to be Eddie Van Halen, because BEC and Excavations have taken monstrous riffage and turned it into intricate pop melodies.

“What to make of Excavacations? Are they a pop band? Perhaps, except they spend as much time zoning out and embedding weird sounds into extended soundscapes as delivering infectious payloads loaded with hooks. Are they drone? If so, this is the catchiest drone you’ll ever hear. Are they rock? Maybe — they rock hard at times but not often. Are they bad spellers? Probably (don’t miss that extra ‘ca’ in the name). But if we live in a post-post-everything world, then Excavacations is simply music for the 21st century.

Object Permanence is one of the catchiest releases in the Weird Forest catalog but this isn’t empty-calorie Diet Mountain Dew for the ears. The hooks will stand out initially but repeated listens reveal nuances embedded in the music and the care that went into creating these compositions. The boys aren’t afraid of big hooks and choruses but they warp traditional song structures and abandon verse-chorus-verse. Indeed, Excavacations don’t write songs as much as they craft delicate sonic vignettes, song miniatures that ebb and flow, often interweaving and bleeding into each other. Maximalists by nature, nearly every track incorporates overdubbed layers and unusual sonic elements into its core but somehow it all just works — the songs never sound overcrowded or weird for the sake of it.

Object Permanence comprises of songs culled from a string of underground cassette releases on the venerable Stunned, Avant Archive and Paramita labels plus 4 new exclusive tracks but the album sounds like a cohesive statement. Partially re-recorded, mixed and mastered specifically for this release, these songs have never sounded better.”
