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 ]

Avant-garde noise mongers Black Dice follow up last year's acclaimed "Beaches & Canyons" and the "Cone Toaster" 12" with this two-track EP (a teaser to their full-length due June 2004). Clocking in at a hearty 28 minutes, it's bound to please and confound fans and critics alike, as the band proves once again that whatever they tackle, it's on their own terms. "Miles of Smiles" was originally created for The Poetry of Sex art exhibit in Tokyo and finds the band exploring a Musique Concrete-like world of chan   [ 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 ]

Order Repo and receive this free poster designed by the band (while supplies last)! 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 wi   [ read more ]

And now for something completely different. After two full-length discs and several singles of avant-core that came off like Void covering Metal Machine Music, the noisy Rhode Island warmongers slipped into something a little less comfortable on Beaches and Canyons. Even though the disc might appear a more docile dossier on the surface, what with skronk replaced by electronic chirps and more silence in the space of one disc than Black Dice had accumulated in its career to date, a look beneath se   [ read more ]
