UADA – Djinn (3rd Full-Length Album)
“Djinn, first inhabitors of this world, the smokeless fire and those we call upon our enemies,
has gifted us a 60-minute descent into the modern-day possessions of our existence and demise.
A duality that can only be known as our third wish.” — UADA
Simply titled but by no means simple in construction nor execution, Djinn builds upon
the increasingly ambitious songwriting of its no-less-considerable predecessor, pushing UADA’s dazzling
artistry into nearly Technicolor landscapes of the Beyond. Upon the first opening notes, this boundless
artistry is felt: big, rolling rhythms reminiscent of post-punk tantalizingly set the stage for the
splendorous expanses to follow.
There’s a certain magick at play here, bolstered by the band’s rhythm section — featuring the final
performance of drummer Josiah Babcock and new bassist Nate Verschoor
(erstwhile mainman of Veiled). This throttling-yet-deft foundation leads and plays acute counterpoint
to the spiraling, windswept riffing of founders Jake Superchi (also vocals) and
James Sloan, whose guitar work transcends the poignancy of prior works.
Djinn’s generous six-song, hour-long runtime allows the listener the ultimate freedom to roam within
UADA’s ever-unique world. The album spans smothering speed and deliriously dream-like states, Very Metal
urgency and textural exploration alike. Put simply, this is the band at the height of their creative
powers. Djinn is truly its own realm of experience.
