The wonderful creatures and critters of Paw Tracks have awaken from their Winter Hibernation to bring us news that the boys of Black Dice will shed their winter coats April 7 with REPO, their fifth full-length album. When we last heard from them, they were blowing our loads on Load Blown (TMT Review), their unique style of noise gibber jabbering into hearts everywhere. Well, on REPO, it seems the crew has picked up a “blues-band philosophy,” which has allowed the band to “loosen up.” Can't wait to see what this all means.
As for what Black Dice are repossessing, it seems that these jokesters are out to get the “landscape popular culture would have us believe we cannot afford.” How exactly will this be done? By mulching sounds and images of radio, TV, and the internet into a compost heap of new life (and new songs), we will have what is ours. Ahhh, the smell of new life -- isn’t it great? A bit confusing, but that’s good, right? Right?
