The impressive crux of 'Pagan Science', the sophomore album by Austin trio The Well, is that it's a multiplicity of itself. From the band's dual male/female vocals to the transcendently timeless sounds and erudite lyrical themes, 'Pagan Science' is crystalline in its complexity and clarity at the same time. The Well walks an intriguing line between authentic early '70s doom/heavy psych and the more frayed-edge-of-sanity weirdness of their hometown's legendary noise rock scene, whilst also splicing in shades of chamber choir vocals, occult rock and dark folk.
