"OOIOO and Lightning Bolt are both bands whose music is wholly unique and whose creators' influence would be impossible to overstate. YoshimiO, OOIOO's founder and bandleader, has been a guiding force in uncompromising art across the continuum of rock and improvised music for four decades, from her work in UFO or Die to The Boredoms to SAICOBAB and beyond. OOIOO serves as a core outlet for melding freeform experimentalism with hypnotic rock pulses, defying boundaries with her acrobatic voice, electronics, trumpet and gamelan. Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale and Brian Gibson have remained unparalleled in their ability to transmute frenetic whirls of percussion, gargantuan fuzz and dizzying melody into monolithic vistas. The Horizon Spirals/The Horizon Viral is a split that captures the parallels in ethos between these two ensembles, their sense of gleeful abandon and freight train momentum, in inspiring detail. 'The Horizon Spirals,' composed of OOIOO's gamelan-infused sagas 'The Horizon' and 'Gamel Be Sure To Spiral' demonstrates the boundless scope of OOIOO's music. Opener 'The Horizon' draws inspiration from Sun Ra Arkestra's 'Horizon,' bursting from oscillations into a syncopated groove before stretching out into up-tempo hypnotisms lead by YoshimiO's trumpet. Lightning Bolt's 'The Horizon Viral' evokes the limitlessness of their improvisations and distills through more sophisticated home recording techniques. 'The Horizon Viral' reignites the flame of their storied home recordings, capturing the duo in full freeform, bolstered from bassist Brian Gibson's experiences composing and recording soundtracks for video games he co-designed, Thrasher and Thumper. The five pieces that make up their side were arranged as a single suite, meant to be played all together, with movements like 'Wavers' and 'Cloud Core' showcasing how relentless the duo's energy remains. Throughout, Gibson's ability to conjure riffs that feel timeless is as potent as drummer Brian Chippendale's ability to propel them until their instruments become inextricably enmeshed. The Horizon Spirals/The Horizon Viral is a celebration of indomitable creativity. In their endless pursuit of crafting pure, uninhibited, enchanting art, OOIOO and Lightning Bolt continue to make astonishingly powerful, invigorating music."
