Audiopile Review: You may associate Chicago’s Thrill Jockey label with the coolly cerebral sounds of Tortoise and Oval. But, in recent years, Thrill Jockey has been tilling the extreme left field of heavy music. Acts like Sumac (featuring Vancouver’s Nick Yacyshyn) make post-metal that’s more post than metal. Especially in...
