Description

Electronica veterans The Chemical Brothers return with their ninth album, venturing into the far-out. To say they abandoned the idea of “staying relevant” is an understatement; No Geography teleports listeners back to the raging psychedelic beats of times long gone. With their return to the “big beat” style they were popular for, The Chemical Brothers also seem to be having a lot more fun with the beats and sounds they use.
However, this album is much more about the experience than it is about being consumed. Each song has several layers of sound overlapping to create an intricate piece of art. Further, the album’s suggested political inspirations add another dimension to the music, allowing for endless interpretations of The Chemical Brothers’ intentions with certain songs.

So, nearly a quarter century since the Chems debuted with the excellent Exit Planet Dust, the electronic music landscape is almost entirely unrecognizable in comparison; artists have come and gone, fads have become popularized and repeated ad nauseam, and the masses have slowly started to become more attuned to the various subsects that electronic music encompasses. Which leaves us here with No Geography, a testament to their timeless impact on the electronic music stratosphere and reminds us just how inventive rave music can be when it’s not self-consciously latched onto whatever the electronic zeitgeist is at the time. No Geography is mercurial, dangerously sprawling, and some of the most thrilling rave music to be released in years.
