Om – Pilgrimage (2007)

September 24, 2023

I played the absolute fuck out of this record back when I was a greasy 20-something stoner with nothing else to do with my life. Whilst still longer than most band’s tunes, the shorter run times to the tracks, even with the reprising nature of themes here, definitely helps Om keep things more varied and interesting. “Bhimas Theme” is one of the group’s best songs from any era.

RYM review writing fun fact: Today I learned that Steve Albini produced this thing, which actually blew my mind. I can usually sniff out his involvment in something I’m listening to a mile off, but I totally missed the pairing here.
