  • We Say...

    Left for dead after experiencing both a whiplash ascent with the cognoscenti and the resultant backlash while associated with the DFA label, Load Blown finds the Brooklyn trio retreating deep inside their skulls, practice spaces and belly buttons, reinventing themselves as mischievous sound-collagists without equal. Drawing on everything from crackly calypso to daytime television commercials to no-fi thrash, Black Dice dish out dense miniatures in 4 to 7-minute blasts, rather than the extended lengths of yore. While peers like Wolf Eyes take their compositions to the furthest thresholds of noise, Black Dice instead sculpt pieces — like "Kokomo," "Drool" and "Manoman" — into playful, noisome, highly rhythmic affairs, creating an alternate universe for the tag "dance-punk."
