Synopsis

Product Description
This Brooklyn trio has never worked harder at crafting a set of concise, sonically battering, or flat-out bizarre tunes than on this collection of fringe-surfing tone bombs. Yet a new roadhouse blues band philosophy has simultaneously emerged, allowing the group to loosen up and casually toss off a record packed with blurry hooks and zoomed in riffs. "Repo" irreverently mulches the sounds and images of radio, TV, and Internet into a fertile compost pile squirming with new, raw life.

CD Reviews

Throwing a 7-11
Neal David Schneider | San Rafael, CA | 06/14/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Upon first listen to this record I was convinced I had wasted 15 dollars on it. It sounded like someone had taken a sample machine and dropped it off of a 4th story window and then recorded the sounds of each recorded noise reacting to hitting hard concrete while playing. I couldn't find much in it to hold my attention - it just sounded like a total mess.



I forced myself to listen to it 4 times, and I am really happy that I did. On each new listen the album started to reveal things to me - a pattern of noises here or a transition beat there or god forbid even a song structure at times. That is what this record does - it reveals itself to you in small pieces.



Getting to know this album from start to finish is going to be a huge undertaking which I am planning my summer listening schedule around. This is by far my favorite record of the year, dare I say one of the most rewarding listens of my life. I was SO challenged by this record at first, I had no concept of the Black Dice sound and for a while I wasn't sure I would ever listen to the record again.



I put this album on at night about an hour before I go to sleep and listen to it in the dark just so I can hear each noise, blip, clang, crash, and swoosh that there is. I find myself looking forward to that time each day more and more."
