I\’e2\’80\’99ve been following this band for a long time. When the Low Level Owl records came out I was too taken aback to really make a decision about them. Two extremist responses resounded from […]

Silver
Label: Hydra HeadRelease Date: 04/11/06

\
so this night’s lineup was Fecal Food, Dogme95, and Slow Wonder.
\
\

“Dueling cyclones jackknife / They’ve got eyes for your wife / And the blood that lives in her heart”-
\
Is the first line from the opener, Rubies. It\’e2\’80\’99s a 9.5 minute gem of a track that is ultimately a metaphor for the rest of the album; structurally dense, lyrically superlative, and worth […]

The Black Heart Procession have been expanding on their already inventive and spectral sound for the past nine years. While their mastery of minimalism, spooky brooding and complex layering was already impressive, it […]
