It sounds as though it was created under laboratory conditions to sound utterly thrown together and spontaneous, a haphazard amalgam of krautrock and psych. They've got cool kraut credentials, actually – or at least one of them has: guitarist Matt Wood spent 18 months working at Faust's HQ in Germany, and psych-wise, well, Follow was produced by Dan (Toy) Carey..."
