If free jazz, math rock, and Frank Zappa had a child, this album would be it. Complex timings, nonstandard time signatures, and polyrhythms help create a complex listening experience.

Diamanda Galás - Broken Gargoyles (2022)
Released only two days ago, Diamanda Galás's Broken Gargoyles takes sounds seemingly most appropriate for an avant garde art installation, layers poetry written and recited by Georg Heym. The two poems ("Das Fieberspital" and "Die Damonen der Stadt") fit the ambient sounds, creating an experience in line with what one would expect at a meeting of broken gargoyles.
Not an easy listen, but offers quite a bit for those willing to keep an open mind to the experimental and avant garde fringe of music.
