"Wo Fat have always held a special place in my heart
with their obese riffs, destructive rhythms and slow plodding sense of sonic
annihilation. They are one of those bands who have always managed to come off
as 'heavier than thou' and the chunkier it gets the easier it is to fall in
love. While yes, Midnight Cometh does have improvisational passages that get a
bit masturbatory in many ways that only adds to the stoned rock and roll charm
that Wo Fat so proudly use in order to cultivate a distinct sound and aesthetic.
The inherent jam magic of Midnight Cometh is powerful
because it invokes a sort of live magic that you don't often get on wax. While
yeah - I would like to see some more concise stuff out of the Wo Fat camp the
fact that they can harness your attention for six tracks of rippling magic only
helps to prove that Midnight Cometh is a rock and roll record that you can come
back to. Wo Fat have always been a very jam friendly band and this record is
merely the culmination of that. The point is to get lost, to find hope in the
waves of volume and to fall in love with a soundworld that is still in love
with the pentatonic scale..."
