Synopsis

Product Description

This Brooklyn noise punk outfit has dramatically altered their wall of sound on their fourth album. It focuses on open spaces, longer movements, expansive arrangements, and loftier goals. Though they've maintained their love affair with glitchy oscillations and anthemic vocals, they're now a mature art-rock quartet. This is a heady mix of psych, noise, and pop influenced by the arty minimalism of Wire, the surreal pop of early Eno, and the spaced out psychedelia of "Dark Side"-era Pink Floyd. LP contains digital download coupon for MP3s of the entire album.

CD Reviews

Consistently surprising and an unexpected pleasure

RadioNDN | Midwestern USA | 10/27/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The new album from Brooklyn based band Parts & Labor is a consistently surprising effort, combining noise, prog and psychedelic rock, often with 70's heavy metal guitar backdrop, into an experimental mix that for the first half of the album often doesn't even seem like the same band from track to track. They also layer on some electronic flourishes and display a real talent for a pop hook, as with the irresistible "Nowheres Nigh." Things slow down a bit at the midpoint with "The Ceasing Now," but pick up again with the somewhat regal sounding ballad "Wedding In A Wasteland" and the prog rock workout "Prefix Now," both of which have an epic sweep about them. This is a pretty cool record, and having not listened to Parts & Labor in the past, this was an unexpected pleasure. Standout cuts: "Satellites," "Nowheres Nigh," "Mount Misery" and "Wedding In A Wasteland.""
