Ataraxia – The Unexplained
Returning to the sphere of the esoteric and unknown, Mort Garson’s second album of occult stylings expands upon the first outing by updating the sonic palette and forgoing cheap thrills. Gone are the startling jolts and jitters of the witchcraft-by-numbers Black Mass; in its place stands The Unexplained, Ataraxia’s memorable patchwork of eerie electronic invocations that suggest at, rather than show, the intoxicating allure of the unseen and unknown. – Wyatt Owens
