wreck and reference: black cassette

Wed, May 18 2011 6:11pm - Source: Cows Are Just Food

yes! i know you've all been waiting for a guitarless doom(ish) band with a neato line in german philosophical riffing. well goddam here they are. two fellas from california and not a buzzing downtuned string among them (kind of). wreck and reference indeed. a whole spitting strammash built on drums and vocals, samples and keys. digging the nod to frege's sense and reference since they've managed to make a great noise rock record, that sounds like a noise rock record, without using the prerequisite noise rockist elements. i.e. geetars (kind of). deconstruction and reconstruction, illusion and artifice. yes! anyway there's a curious amalgam at play here. a chimeric beast that owes equally to black metal's lo-fi treble and echo, to post-whatever constellation experimentation, to the dry as fuck rhythmic rattle of the best albini productions (the drums are bloody brittle/brutal). yeah so if you've ever wondered what aidan baker or thee silver mt. zion's apocalypses would sound like if forced to condense their epic shit into handy five minute upliftingly morose existentialist chunks then black cassette's the answer. occasionally beautiful electronic laments. bursts of jagged doom clatter and feedbacking ritual chants. elegiac scratched dirges. crackling shards of voltage, like a malfunctioned tesla coil. s'good. and a belting cover to boot.
