about

The Timeout Drawer's 3rd full-length "Nowonmai" was named after the legendary backwards declaration from Regan's demonic possession in the cult classic movie "The Exorcist". Phonetically reversed, it becomes the haunting statement - "I am no one." 8 blistering instrumental tracks, chronicling a fall from grace or the end of life or simply the end of love, this record is a classic waiting to be discovered. Achingly melodic, this is one of the finest post-rock albums of all-time.
- Consumers Research & Development

"Compositions are epic and episodic, with the group moving from placid moments to crushing climaxes with aplomb. Despite the material's complexity, it never sounds forced but unfolds naturally, an impression largely attributable to the group's telepathic interplay. By turns melancholy and crushing, the eight pieces are gorgeously arranged, with the group's guitars-moog-bass-drums core augmented by strings and, on "Blue Eyed and Filled With Horror," somber horns; the group even deepens the wide-screen scope of "This Narrow Room is World Enough" with the soft lull of a flute. The album's longest piece, "Bursting With Tears, I Commit To Destroying You," smokes and rages with a Crimsonesque fury, the guitars ferociously roaring before an electric piano brings the mayhem under control. A delicate interlude at the song's center shows the group as comfortable with understatement as it is searing meltdowns of barracuda riffing, flaming synth splatter, and pummeling martial rhythms. When the guitars collectively stampede through "There is So Much Love," the effect is pure heaven. Read forwards or backwards, Nowonmai is one beautiful noise."

- Ron Schepper, Signal to Noise
