The 12 tracks of “Dissociation” offer ample evidence of just how powerful that songwriting is.  Taken as a whole, they display a huge leap forward from A Void’s previous long player “Awkward And Devastated” from 2018.  That was a very good debut, for sure, but it was a debut by a band that was still working its way towards a higher level of greatness.  I expect their next album will be greater still, but at this present time “Dissociation” is about as great as great gets.   If you have heard their recent single and former LW Track Of The Day  ‘Newspapers’ – joined at the hip here with a doomy, attention-grabbing ‘Bag Of Skulls’ – you will have heard a very fine taster for what A Void are currently bringing to the table (or should perhaps be turntable, as the album is available on vinyl as well as the customary CD and download formats). It’s joined here by 11 other scorchers that span a songwriting period of two years and that, as a whole, show a darker side to their author than do the bombastic live versions of many of these tracks.
