Creature Comforts

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 playfulness and accessibility mixed with the naïve wonder and not-quite-steady rhythms. It's hazy, dreamy, and utterly original, mixing dub, tropicalia, and the entire history of psychedelic rock music. Gathering no small amount of press support (The New York Times made "Cone Toaster" their single of the year; Beaches and Canyons made Rolling Stone editors' top 5 picks) while remaining provocative and uncompromising, Black Dice follow their own set of rules, constantly re-inventing themselves and challenging the listener's preconceptions.
