Review of Anonymous

Haunting and immersive, Tomahawk’s third release Anonymous takes you deep into the desert beyond the reservation. Under a night sky salted with stars, the bone-dry vocals of Mike Patton (Fantômas, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) peace-pipe you into the shadows of yesteryear. Anonymous is full of rain sticks and quirky time signatures drenched in percussion. The homage to Native American traditions is paid with care, thanks to the extensive ethnomusicological research by guitarist/bassist Duane Denison (once of Jesus Lizard).

8/10
