Frenzal Rhomb announce their first new album in six-years, 'The Cup Of Pestilence' out via Virgin Music Australia! It's the all-new Dark Ages! Of archaic snake oils and occult alchemy, turning horse drugs into fool's gold, and otherwise worldly townsfolk into the village idiot. But all is not lost, dear vassal, dear patron, for who is that doth march o'er the crest of yon hill, battle-scar'd armour reflecting back the sun of a brand new day? It's Frenzal Rhomb's new album The Cup Of Pestilence! Drink long and deep of it's zest. It's lifegiving succour. It's mad riffs. I'll probably stop with the weird medieval stuff now. We've done a new album! Took us a while because, you know, *gestures everywhere*, but we did it. Written in our houses, mostly during the pandemic, demoed at The Pet Food Factory, and recorded, mixed and mastered at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado in the year of our lord 2022, by Bill Stevenson, Jason Livermore, Andrew Berlin, Chris Beeble and a cast of other people who look better in chainmail than we do. Art by Glenno and his beautiful warped mind. 19 songs full of the characters and slightly discomforting ideas that you've come to love or at least put up with from us. The stories of good times, beloved friends and slightly less-friendly types ("Where Drug Dealers Take Their Kids", "The Wreckage, "Lane Way Dave"," I Think My Neighbour Is Trying To Kill Me" for example), the tales of enlightenment through recreational substances of "Dog Tranquiliser" and "Thought It Was Yoga But It Was Ketamine", and some great budgetary ideas for a cash-strapped household, with songs such as Instant Coffee and Gravox, the latter a Paul Kelly classic updated for the time-poor sous-chef in the kitchen at Christmas. Also an unusually large number of animal references. And an a cappella choir that's just Jason. We contain multitudes.

3.5
Format: Hardcover
This is a smart book, an interesting book but it was hard for me to read as the style was more technical/detached than i like. It worked for the story but not for the kind of reader I am. It is worth the read though despite this 3.5

Very creative and engaging
Format: Hardcover
Kinda blown away that this is a first novel! In a not-so-distant future, the protagonist Lee is a recent grad of an elite Program where she has dedicated her life to achievement. She's disappointed to be sent to a no-name company and assigned to a mysterious project. Learning she must gather data to help AI become more human, it's sadly funny as the only way she knows to gather data is by going online. I really loved the book's portrayal of the future, in which NYC is a dead city and the Midwest is where all the action is. The future portrayed here is just a tad more digitized than our current time. Instead of cooking people order food and it is delivered instantly (not just meals, but like if you want a cookie it's delivered instantly), purchase clothing by tapping the glass display windows at empty stores, and eat at restaurants by tapping on screens and having food shot out at them by machines. When Lee discovers a "primitive" restaurant that is actually staffed by humans and has menus, she is drawn to the place over and over again and starts to discover the magic of real life interaction. Lee, who is socially awkward to the point of agony, gradually becomes comfortable interacting with humans IRL. It's touching and funny as she navigates things like friendship, getting drinks or coffee and even dating. But the book takes a dark turn as Lee's drive for perfection and her assignment to "experience life" for the AI spin out of control. This book started off reminding me of "The Factory" by Hiroko Amayada and turned into shades of "The Rosie Project". Touching and truly original, well worth reading!

Great read!
Format: Hardcover
I can’t believe this is a debut novel for this author! "Loneliness and Company" is a moving story of human connection. Through her storytelling, Dyroff delves into the transformative power of genuine relationships. This book serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of meaningful connections in our lives. With its wonderfully crafted characters and thought-provoking themes, "Loneliness and Company" is a must-read!

Poignant
Format: Hardcover
This is definitely a slow burn. A poignant look at the idea of loneliness, though I often think about how the technology presented in near future worlds make people feel less tangibly human.

Awesome Read
Format: Hardcover
Loneliness and Company was a wonderful read. it opened up a new perspective and had me venturing into a world of AI, longing, love and a future of hope in a world with so much digital and technology in our every day lives. I will keep an eye out for future books from this author.
