ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Sightings' deconstuctionist noise rock removes the melodies and hooks of standard rock and roll, leaving a mash of growls and feedback - from the high pitched grind in the guitar strings to the groan inside a bass amp. It's a destructive post-punk mess that beautifully references weird outfits like Einsturzende Neubauten as well as the early 80s no wave scene and noisy contemporaries like Wolf Eyes, Black Dice, Lightning Bolt and Ruins.

Eight songs that take apart rock music atom by atom so that you're left with just a skeleton of sound. Sightings still use the tools of the trade -- guitar, bass and drums -- to take both the rock and the roll out of rock 'n' roll. Reference weirdo deconstructo outfits like Einsturzende Neubauten, (mid-period) Black Dice, and Mainliner. This is the sound between the guitar strings, inside the bass amp, and within a drumstick.
