“Losing The War Inside Our Heads” is the 17th official album by The Flying Luttenbachers. It is a desolate, bracing collection of music showcasing five varied new tracks of intense, composed modernism. The previous release “Terror Iridescence” (2022) was an abstract horrorscape of alienated dissonance marking founding member Weasel Walter’s transition back to the original base of operations, Chicago. Following four albums with New York based personnel since reviving the Flying Luttenbachers in 2017 after a decade long hiatus, “Losing The War . . . “ is a transitional work like 2003’s epic “Systems Emerge From Complete Disorder”, one of the most complex and ambitious chapters in the entire saga. 

Largely conceived and executed by Walter solo as a stopgap between phases, the dark, rigorous constructions here are tightly sculpted and scripted examples of the “brutal prog” aesthetic the group pioneered in the early 2000s. From the cathartic, asymmetrical riffing of “The Solution is the Problem”, the quasi brutal death metal-influenced jigsaw puzzle “Id Vomit”, to the endless corridor of minimalistic, epic doom, “Crawling 1000 Meters Across A Cold Stone Floor Towards The Forbidden”, the mood is suffocatingly malevolent and oppressive, crammed full of bizarre twists, coruscating guitar abrasion, and relentless structural momentum.
