The album opener Evil is a monolithically slow, slab of psychedelic doom with some fairly discordant female vocals and a real hypnotic groove that gets under the skin.  This is followed up by the album’s title track, Wish I Weren’t Here. An electronic drum beat forms the bedrock of the track, which is then layered up with various electronic sounds and FX led guitar tracks, with a spoken word vocal track over the top. A pulsing, psychedelic behemoth of a track that takes the listener into pretty dark territory. The track has a real menace, that is prevalent across the album as a whole. All One is up next and this once again fulfils that hypnotic vibe that the whole album is infused with. This one does highlight Julius’s industrial past a little more than the other tracks, and features some pretty cool sounding electronica. Make Me See the Light opens with a riff to die for, this psychedelic rocker is packed with some great liquid guitar work and wonderfully trippy off kilter vocals that give it a strangely compelling quality. There may be a hint of classic krautrock about this one and even a dash of Spacemen 3 era space rock for good measure, this is certainly one of the more interesting tracks on the album.

After the fairly average sounding (for this album at least) Just Because I Can, My Soul Rests Low comes across like a mad Velvet Underground with Nico on vocals. This is probably the most experimental track on the album, a veritable smorgasbord of influences from the aforementioned Velvets, as well as The Doors and The Beatles circa Revolution 9. Forgotten is up next and represents a different side to the band’s sound, a high-octane slab of primal psychedelic rock n roll with a driving electronic beat at its black heart. He is Here, ploughs a similar furrow before we reach the album’s closer A Lord. This is a master class in psychedelic rock…tripped out, with a hypnotic beat, and vocal chants all of which makes for an interesting listen. The song finishes midway through the track and after a brief silence another song plays. Less than two minutes in length it is an interesting little instrumental bonus track to bring the album to a close.

Overall the music is diverse, interesting, and very well played. The band are heading into similar territory to bands like Crippled Black Phoenix, undertaking a modern psychedelic sound, and it works well. Make Me See the Light, My Soul Rests Low and A Lord represent the standout tracks for me, but all of the music is pretty interesting.
