Black Dice

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Hailed as sonic groundbreakers or derided as alienating and pretentious, Brooklyn's Black Dice push the limits of hardcore and noise rock. Taking their cues from Melt Banana, Merzbow, and Harry Pussy, Black Dice fixate on a few notes per "song" and focus on producing a sound that's as abrasive and distorted as possible. The group debuted in early 1998 with a single on Gravity Records and released Semen of the Sun on Tapes Records. They then appeared on Troubleman Unlimited's Mix-Tape and were picked up by Troubleman, run by Unwound. {$Black ...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Fuck electroclash, this Brooklyn quartet is here to plant a flag in your skinny-tie ass, reclaiming it in the name of twisted, post-ambient no-wave sounds. "Cone Toaster," their new single, is a track that lays a 4/4 techno thump under some of the strangest noises made by...well, we actually have no idea how they were made. And we don't ask questions. The B-side features a remix by Eye of The Boredoms.

Following their acclaimed Miles Of Smiles EP and dance single "Cone Toaster," Black Dice return with the full-length, Creature Comforts. This release finds the band pushing in yet another direction, at once unmistakably Black Dice, and noticeably different. Venturing further into their own psychedelic, increasingly electronic world, Creature Comforts is as expansive, experimental, and structurally unique as its predecessor, Beaches and Canyons, but there is a new sense of playful   [ read more ]

Load Blown is the fourth album by Brooklyn's Black Dice. The beats drip and roll, tar-pit voices sing into an oil can, and the guitars crank like calliope. Some tunes crackle and burble like submerged television, others bump and click along like a Summer Jam concert series from another dimension. While a noticeable change in tone encompasses Load Blown (some tunes veer close to pop songs), this is a work of over-stimulation, a product of frenzied media culture, a sonic sifting of t   [ read more ]

The latest in mind-blowing improvised sound frenzy from New York scene-stormers BLACK DICE-BJORN COPELAND, HISHAM BHRAOOCHA, ERIC COPELAND, and AARON WARREN. A blissed and chaotic explosion of orchestrated electronics, percussion, vocals and treated guitars that blend extreme volume and a strong physcial presence. Melody and repetition are used as foundations for experiments in noise, proto-industrial exploration, ambient electronics and psychedelic ideas to build and take off from. Unorthodox, open-ended a   [ read more ]

This Brooklyn trio has never worked harder at crafting a set of concise, sonically battering, or flat-out bizarre tunes than on this collection of fringe-surfing tone bombs. Yet a new roadhouse blues band philosophy has simultaneously emerged, allowing the group to loosen up and casually toss off a record packed with blurry hooks and zoomed in riffs. Repo irreverently mulches the sounds and images of radio, TV, and Internet into a fertile compost pile squirming with new, raw life.

Brooklyn's own BLACK DICE return to Troubleman with their second cd. Since we last heard from them, they toured the USA (again), and released a 7'. They have also been playing around NYC monthly, developing their sound and dabbling in improvisation. This record finds them experimenting with sounds, and mixing them with their patented brand of violent hardcore. The result is an odd mixture of the experimental HARRY PUSSY, noise master MERZBOW, and violent hardcore pioneers VOID. They also added more amps to    [ read more ]
