Nobody Ever Does Takes Us on a Cosmic Journey to Inner Tranquility on Ambient Psychedelic Track “Rustig Aan”

Nobody Ever Does might look like a vagabond version of Jellyfish and one might expect a different flavor of psychedelia from “Rustig Aan.” But what emerges across it’s lush and gorgeous sprawl of sound nearly nine minutes long is a downtempo and meditative listening experience akin to a mellower Bardo Pond without the passages of raw noise. Measured, hypnotic percussion, streaming synths sparkle, ethereal female vocals stream melodic poetry as if cast adrift on the ocean of subconscious thought. In the background voices speak like distant radio signals echoing announcements barely discernible. Bell tones and languorous guitar work throughout give the whole thing which seems so casually and unhurriedly cosmic an organic grounding reminiscent of Sky Cries Mary’s more abstract sonic explorations of inner space for a net effect of utter tranquility.
