LYMBYC SYSTYM
Love Your Abuser

Remember that cheap ass xylophone they wouldn't let you use in your elementary school band class? This is what happens when kids are left alone with that thing for about 20 years. The debut album from Arizona's Lymbyc Systym takes its core of basic drums and guitar and smothers it with vintage keyboards and reverberated band class sounds, layer upon layer, like a mother wraps a child before going out in the snow. It may be chill, but it'll warm your soul. Love Your Abuser is an album to make you remember why you like folktronica (the term and the genre).
