Black Square
Being re-released by Impose Records, 2009
dd/mm/yyyy: "Digital Haircut"
I like this album.
"Bronzage" and "No Life"=alien guts disposed in a swirling electronic toilet
"'They'"=the mellow eulogy for aforementioned alien and guts
"Infinity Skull Cube" and "My Glasses" and "Birdtown"=procession through a desert with a synth-induced headache
"Sirius"=running away from holograms in the aforementioned desert
"Lismer" and "Real Eyes"=indisposed flat in a lounge chair while the fan whirs
"$50,000 Guitar Head"=indisposed flat in a lounge chair while the fan whirs and the remote casually channel surfs
"I'm Still In the Wall"=the jaunt from the lounge chair to the freezer to find some frozen fish sticks
"Digital Haircut"=the joyous anticipation of waiting for the fish sticks to radiate in the microwave.

These Arms Are Snakes: "Red Line Season"
When these two bands get together I'm sure there is some nutty electronic math rock freakout of epic proportions. Biblical proportions. The two bands are different musically, but they approach their song structure similarly. So there's Seattle's These Arms Are Snakes, schlepping their new album, Washburn.
DD/MM/YYYY: "Digital Haircut"
Then there is buzz band DD/MM/YYYY out of the Great North (Toronto) more known for not knowing what to call themselves than for their brand of methodic electronica rock. Good stuff all the same. And their new album out now on cassette (officially now what 'cool' kids do) & digitally & possibly mp3 is called Black Square.
They're hitting a bunch of dates together down South, so head on out to one of them. Dates after the jump...
