This is the only album on my list this year that can be considered even slightly accessible. That may say something about my labyrinthine experience with 2015, but the amount of fun these guys have making music is enough to make the sourest of sourpusses romp with glee over riffs somewhere between Skynyrd and early Baroness. And as fun as this is, the composition is rife with key changes and unanticipated interludes, melodies that come out of nowhere, that make you very aware of the songwriting ability on display here. Lore may as well be titled “How to make a 12 minute song compelling from start to finish.” More people should take note of this band because they deserve it and so far they have passed well under the radar of recognition.
