	Having explored a queasy, often cryptically angry style of shadowy psych-tinged rock and roll on earlier releases, Strangefire on Ezion manage to sound more direct and more alien than ever, with songs ranging from orchestrated prettiness to squelching, echo heavy murk that could almost be dub productions. The lengthy album's seventeen songs have a lot of ground available for the duo and they live up to it, vocalist/guitarist Mike Ash's more straightforward work consistently tweaked and distorted by Tak!, handling everything else. While Ash hasn't always hid his darker lyrical side, the vicious growl of songs like "Reason Not to Rewind" seems even stronger than ever, making the compressed sound of the soloing all that darker. Elsewhere "Crazy with the Zombie Cart" pursues a related feeling, lyrically and musically, towards its somber, gentle guitar conclusion, while "Rolling Blackouts," oddly enough, sounds a bit like a tribute to Placebo (or at least Brian Molko's rapid fire singing/lyrical style while still being a Strangefire song with the swathes of echo and acid-fried edge. Strangefire can't seem to do a straightforward song as such, to their credit, and if the influence of Bobb Trimble's at once accessible and unsettled arrangements hangs heavy, they do provide their own clear take on the approach, more willing to step away from formal song structures. Meantime, the sheer disorienting quality of many of the performances remains a signature element of the band's work -- the cyclical bass swells and muffled percussion of "Corkscrew Turncoat," the overlapping radio broadcasts and surreal lyric imagery on "Mushroom Skyrise," the preternaturally sweet keyboard melody and shifting vocal volume on "Zero Point Field." Strangefire's continual balance between the willfully obscure and the immediate continues to pay dividends, and quite why they're not more well known among modern psychedelic types remains a mystery.
