Coral Rosehill Harrowing, otherworldly, gripping songs with a sonic ensemble unlike anything else. The vocals are delivered with an intense conviction. Experimental noise rock that's heavier than a lot of metal music. Favorite track: year of contortion.

hanzo This sound was already so perfect with just guitar and drums. Now, it's more than perfect. IM has never sounded more full and ethereal than this. Favorite track: year of contortion.

about

Cassette version released by Already Dead Tapes (alreadydeadtapes.bandcamp.com/album/albularyo)

"Grafting together loose bits of psych, math rock, and noise into a confounding and mesmerizing brew of musical angularity, the band lets loose an arty roar that interrupts your body’s ability to move as instructed...At times, the sound verges on industrial, conjuring visions of smoked-out landscapes littered with rusted metal buildings and the clang of desolate bell towers...They draw out thoughts of grimy, parched landscapes and the characters inhabiting them, shaping it all into disturbing narratives that perfectly match the music’s bleak perspective."
-- Beats Per Minute

"This exists at some strange intersection between art rock, djent, prog and industrial. The vocals are pained and desperate. The sounds are artificial and highly percussive. The guitars and vocals scream in unison. The synths pulsate in a maelstrom of ancient psychedelic spacecraft rage. The effect is dizzying."
-- Issues Magazine

"Donna’s [vocal] delivery rapidly changes from subdued to infuriated, from reserved to explosive, on a line to line basis. Jagged, repetitive rhythms build and build in tandem with the intensity of Donna’s vocals. One line will feel as if she’s the one who is hurting, and the next will feel like she is going to hurt you...These songs seem to evaluate themselves, asking themselves personal questions and immediately answering those questions, only to be led to more questions as a result, and in that confusion there is an emotional transparency...An empowerment through the willingness to be brutally honest and sincere...I’m unsure if Imelda Marcos takes any influence from Zs, but I would argue that they share a similar experimental spirit."
-- Can This Even Be Called Music?

"The Chicago duo...returns three years after [third album] Tatlo with...the expressive vocals of the charismatic Donna Diane, the four [songs] of Albularyo...are highly percussive, even the guitar which becomes entangled in frenetic, distressing, doctored, synthetic tones crossed by disturbing electronic effects. The structures are by turns repetitive, hypnotizing, dislocated, smelling of sulfur and tension, abruptly lyrical at times. Imelda Marcos is on the way to becoming one hell of a weird beast..."
-- Perte & Fracas (translated from French)

"Sartoria Blue, a gloomy and irreverent experimental rock [song] that goes through different phases of vibration. It is theatrical, frenetic (especially in its closing) and even somewhat mysterious..."
-- Sound & Vision Musica (translated from Spanish)
