It’s rare that a duo blends the heavily layered jamming of Can with the downtempo groove of Massive Attack, but Ollo succeeds with flying colors. On their second full-length, these Australian multi-instrumentalists serve up a handful of Kraut jams, incorporating spastic live drums, wah-pedaled guitars, and funk bass from space. If it’s not the trippy guitar solos on “Summer Salt” that weave you into the boys’ interplanetary web, it’ll be the always-shifting synth pads that reel you in and take you under.
