about

Logophobia -- the fear of words -- has taken on all kinds of meanings beyond those of mere pathology: Michel Foucault defined it as angst caused by the capricious nature of language, while Peter Farb considered it an aversion to abstraction itself. And although Denver's Peña avoids lyrics like the plague, the group's spacious majesty is far from timid. While hordes of instrumental math-rock bands before it have trafficked in anxiety and tension, Peña conveys a sense of wonder and triumph on its seven-song debut, Human Circuits. Recorded before the departure of guitarist Todd Arneson, the disc embraces cold logic and organic warmth in equal doses, recalling the quivery melody of pre-laptop Pele as well as the calculated rhythm of Battles.
