On their second album for Load, Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Pete Swanson again make a lot of righteously gloomy noise soundscapes for the masses -- they wouldn't have it any other way, of course. With Daniel Voss again providing engineering help while Marcelo Spina oversees production, Yellow Swans begin the album with the title track, a slow swell of a throbbing dark rhythm the bedrock for a series of overlaid drones and feedback wails, Swanson's guitar turning slowly into a triumphant crescendo somewhere between a minimal sitar piece and pure overload. It's perhaps the most straightforwardly rock thing the band has recorded in some time but even then it's not quite normal, and a good thing too. From there much of the album seems to take on a desert theme, at least due to three successive song titles -- "Stretch the Sands," "Our Oases," and "Mass Mirage." Alliteration and assonance aside, all three find Swanson fully embracing space rock dramatics filtered through the vast soundscapes created by the likes of Flying Saucer Attack, sheets of feedback howl and moan turning into something utterly transcendent, with "Our Oases" the most spectacular example even while being the shortest in length. "Endlessly Making an End of Things" concludes the album in a more astringent fashion initially, though like the opener more and more sound builds on it while mournful wordless vocals snake through the mix in counterpoint like distant siren songs. ~ Ned Raggett

Arranger: Emil Amos.

Personnel: Peter Swanson (vocals, electronics); Emil Amos (guitar).

The Wire (p.64) - "[They] combine the swelling intensity of formless noise with a kind of anthemic guitar blitz. The sound they make is inescapably huge."

Prurient Pleasure Ground CD  (2006)

At All Ends album
CD $11.09  Audio Samples
Pleasure Ground begins with a high-pitched electronic screech that could probably be used to call for dogs if it were any higher, and whether or not one lasts past the first ten seconds of that will determine if Prurient's latest album will be of interest. Recorded by Prurient (aka Dominick Fernow) in a Valentine's Day 2006 session, Pleasure Ground isn't exactly Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, but issues of love, lust, and life are the lyrical core of the album, as decipherable thanks to the abbreviated lyric sheet. Fernow's agonized screams ...

Black Dice Repo CD  (2009)

At All Ends songs
CD $11.85  Top 500 Audio Samples
Brooklyn experimental rock outfit Black Dice are sonic pioneers with an anarchistic agenda. On REPO, the band continue to push the envelope of noise-rock, melding electronic samples from every source imaginable, including television and the Internet, in disparate collages that are as mesmerizing as they are confrontational. And while the effects may seem off-putting to the uninitiated, REPO is actually one of Black Dice's most cohesive and appealing efforts. The compositions are nearly ritualistic in nature, pulling the listener into their webby pulse even as they dazzle and disorient. In addition, the album plays like social commentary on the order of Throbbing Gristle or Negativeland. This is music from the heart of the machine age. Black Dice are as engaging and deranged as ever, and their fifth album is yet another one of their warped takes on electronic soundscaping. Full of whirs, buzzes, and glitchy blips galore -- like the mind of a robot as it runs out of batteries -- Repo finds the Rhode Islanders a long ...

Sunn 0 Monoliths & Dimensions CD  (2009)

At All Ends album
CD $11.19  Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Practitioners of the glacial school of extreme-volume music, Sunn O))) are the leading exponents of doom, the darkest and heaviest of all metal sub genres. While the group's black-cloaked garb and ritual theatrics have firmly aligned them to the imagery and aesthetic of metal, leader Stephen O'Malley's numerous forays into noise and experimental music, and member Greg Anderson's sideline as label head of Southern Lord (the leading label for adventurous metal) has fashioned the duo as gatekeepers to metal's uncharted paths. MONOLITHS AND DIMENSIONS, the seventh Sun O))) album, continues the monolithic low-end throb and stentorian guitar drones the duo are best known for, and features an array of past collaborators (Attila Csihar, ...

Fuck Buttons' Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power can't be accused of repeating themselves on TAROT SPORT. Post-rock, noise, and electronics lived in perfect (dis)harmony on their debut, STREET HORRRSING, but here the duo channel their intensity in a focused, rather than explosive, way. Hung and Power drafted Andrew Weatherall, who remixed STREET HORRRSING's "Sweet Love for Planet ...
