Torche & Boris - Chapter Ahead Being Fake (2009)


New split by Torche & Boris. Torche's "King Beef" is a sludgey track with pounding drums while Boris' track "Luna" is a mix psychedelic melody, haunting vocals, and Atsuo pounding out blastbeats(!) throughout the track, very unusual track even by Boris's standard.

Black Dice - Beaches And Canyons (2003)

Pretty unique album here, a blend of noise rock but there a moments of beauty, melancholy, and catharsis in this album. I was taking a walk when listening to this album and it blew me away. The last track on this album "Big Drop" is phenomenal to say the least. Fans of experimental, noise rock should check this album out.

Track Listing
  1. Seabird - 6:36
  2. Things Will Never Be The Same - 9:55
  3. The Dream Is Going Down - 11:05
  4. Endless Happiness - 15:24
  5. Big Drop - 16:39

  3. Take Me To The Universe - 10:47
