Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets its namesake, the music of Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century. It figures that a band with this abrasive, unrelenting, and outlandish of...

Largely recognized as their breakthrough album, Khanate was confident enough by the two-song, forty-minute Capture & Release (2005) to peel back it's layers of thick mossy droneand reveal the minimalist underpinnings, a change either interpreted as maturity or an implied threat. "It's a grim, avant-garde exercise in tension and paranoia....

Audiopile Review: In many cases, we’ll take ideas over execution, no question. Give us a spirited amateur over a jaded pro. But sometimes, the execution is so damn good it makes you realize the ideas are way better than you originally thought. A lazy critic might dismiss Montreal trio Big...

Ozma was recorded soon after Melvins made the move from Washington to San Francisco, and was their first release to include the diminutive yet mighty Lorax (Lori Temple Black) on bass. In fact, the first sound one hears at the album’s opening is Lori standing on her tiptoes to switch...

The Melvins new album is like nothing the band has ever done before. Probably the best record they’ve ever recorded. Certainly one of their weirdest.

A fantastic musical composition. Vocals take a backseat to instrumentals. The album is full of different cultural elements—Southern rock and blues, Aztec folk music, and middle eastern influences.
