It's not every day we get to feature psych-tinged post-rock epics on Debuts, but today is thankfully one of those days. "Momento Mono" is, for want of a better word, enormous. No boring intros here: right from the off it's all clatter and skronk, like walking into the practise room of a free jazz band in full hyperkinetic swing. The similarly grandiose imagery in Jacek Zmarz's video - timelapsed cosmos, ancient rituals and, er, swimming dogs - only reinforce the sense of awe.

The trio are seemingly aware of how easy it is to get lost tumbling through the jam after a while; it could easily sprawl out into the Can / Battles realm. Instead, they opt to pull the rug out around the halfway mark, landing a huge hook. The hard-edged organ stabs, booming drum fills and sense of careening acceleration continue until, finally, all falls down.

'II' will see release in the Autumn on Repeat Until Death.
