Where avante experimentalism, tirppy noise psyche, indie rock and spazz free prog meet, you find this cd. Made by half of the songwriting duo of Mars Volta, connected to At the Drive In, this CD is a schizophrenic beautiful mess. Just when you think its art-school experimental it turns wanker prog, then it goes all post rock, then ultra noise, then ends with a “real” song with vocals (of all things!). Good stuff that may hopefully expand the horizons of indie rockers everywhere. Bringing noise to the masses.
1) slow to build, dreamy, echoey experimental, free-jazz drumming soon appears and after ~3 min becomes somber psychey prog rock with wanker guitar
2) super quiet 50 sec intro to funkier prog, caution super quiet outro after ~3.5 min
3) pretty guitar arpeggio turns lush with the noise of an electric guit being plugged in, gets denser and becomes downtempo chill after ~3min, wanker guit still there, excellent drone noise at end
4) treated salsa music, weird, nice
5) free improv feel, chill, trippy, gets louder toward end
6) guitar trippiness a la early Fripp-Summers
7) lush layered noisey intro, continues w/ a subtle electro beat, lush hypnotic, cool
8) chill, interspersed w/ total spazz freakouts, gets basic rocky
9) total space-out trip
10) “real”song, w/ vocs, beat, still really trippy w/ efx, mid paced heavy feel
