The Life & Times of Laddio Bolocko

RESTOCK. Laddio Bolocko may have come and gone, but in their short existence they made a huge impact on the New York music scene by fusing ambience with loud, abrasive rock into a tornado of chaos, precision, and heaviness. Their disintegration in 2001 left many in shock. The recordings went unavailable and the music seemed destined for obscurity. That is until independent label No Quarter offered to release a double-disc retrospective compiling the band's three releases and the never-before-released short film, "As If By Remote" by Aran Tharp. The explosive rhythms, the crushing drones, and the hypnotic post-rock textures – it's all included in this beautifully packaged double-disc set. For fans of: Can, This Heat, Albert Ayler, Drugs.
