Jake Blount and Mali Obomsawin’s revelatory album, symbiont, is so expansive it feels reductive to simply classify it as a concept album, or assign it to any specific genre. Though the world they create is set in the future, it wrestles with the rapid destruction of the natural world and our connection to it in a way many musicians avoid.
