By the time of their 2009 release on Bo Weevil, the Starving Weirdos had refined their extremely obscure if compelling theatricality — punctuated by such approaches as doing shows completely in the dark aside from a lit portrait or two — to a more open approach on-stage as the core membership came into focus. Into an Energy found them further celebrating this new path with an often exultant combination of feedback textures, steady percussion, wind instruments with droning edges, and a sense of fulfilling some sort of ancient mode of practice that put them in line with such bands as the Spacious Mind, a 21st century take on the model that bands like Amon Düül provided. Calling the opening track “Pagan Unity Ritual” pretty well draws the line in the sand from the get-go, and songs with titles like “Dawn in the Distance” and “Invocation by Fire” aren’t all that far off. While the combination of spoken word and framing feedback parts on “Walking Towards Perfection” might be the clearest overall moment that something or someone is being invoked, the overall atmosphere throughout the album is suffused with a restrained power via echo, and the harshest edges of the sound swirl deeper into the mix instead of moving forward. A contrast to the more full-bodied arrangements can be found in songs like “Everything Glass,” where the spare elements present — distant hums, an echoed clatter of beats, whispered words — still fit the sense of a larger presentation at play, underscored when more feedback and the sound of wind instruments emerge suddenly in the mix, still held off from a full rampage, but adding a celebratory arc. Other songs split the difference — “One White Candle, No Moon Night” is a slow burn of a song as the overlay of elements finds its own quietly triumphant logic, one or two melodic figures providing anchors in the swirl of ancient-sounding tones. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi Performers: Gregg Devaney – Ocarina, Sound Effects, Horn, Bells, Vocals; Merrick McKinlay – Sampling, Cello, Percussion, Saxophone, Violin, Keyboards; Brian Pyle – Sampling, Synthesizer, Flute, Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals, Percussion; Steve Lazar – Shaker, Clarinet, Percussion, Violin, Keyboards
