After the quiet ambience of &#8216;Punching Clouds,&#8217; the Lemur is back in territory closer to the progressively structured, beat-heavy melting pot of its (preferred pronoun) debut, &#8216;The Indiscrete Art of Ass Puppetry&#8217;. The sound pallet is paradoxically stranger\u00a0yet more familiar, mixing epic orchestral arrangements with fractured grooves, psychedelic synth textures, and an assortment of nebulous sounds creating bizarrely catchy melodies and dense harmonies.
