LIGHTNING BOLT: New Tune From Noise Duo's First Recording In Six Years Now Playing At Rolling Stone
Over the course of its two-decade existence, noise duo LIGHTNING BOLT has revolutionized underground rock in immeasurable ways. The pair broke the barrier between stage and audience by setting themselves up on the floor in the midst of the crowd. Their momentous live performances and the mania they inspired paved the way for similar tactics used by Dan Deacon and literally hundreds of others. Similarly, the band's recordings have always been chaotic, roaring, blown out documents that sound like they could destroy even the toughest set of speakers.
Set for release next month, Fantasy Empire, LIGHTNING BOLT's sixth
album -- and first in five years -- is a fresh take from a band intent
on pushing themselves musically and sonically while maintaining the
aesthetic that has defined not only them, but an entire generation of
noisemakers. It marks many firsts, most notably their first recordings
made using hi-fi recording equipment at the famed Machines With Magnets,
and their first album for Thrill Jockey. More than any previous album, Fantasy Empire sounds
like drummer Brian Chippendale and bassist Brian Gibson are playing
just a few feet away, using the clarity afforded by the studio to
amplify the intensity they project. Every frantic drum hit, every
fuzzed-out riff, sounds more present and tangible than ever before.
In celebration of its forthcoming release, today Rolling Stone
offers up opening crusher, "The Metal East," alongside an in-depth
interview with the band, for public consumption. Check it out at THIS LOCATION.
Fantasy Empire Track Listing: 1. The Metal East
Fantasy Empire will be released March 24th, 2015 via Thrill Jockey. In addition to standard formats, Thrill Jockey is offering a limited pressing of 300 deluxe double LP versions on black-and-white swirl vinyl. Preorder packages are available at THIS LOCATION.
