Drainolith pulls at the loose threads of rock music and creates a beautifully tangled mess.īuy from Spectrum Spools Xaddax “Counterclockwork” The midway point between 1st album Royal Trux and 1st album Wolf Eyes? Loose and very focused at the same time. Creepy, fractured, deconstructed rock songs. Supposedly it’s a “metal” album and I guess it does lean on the heavy sounds and seems roughly in 4/4 time, not that there are any recognizable instruments anywhere in sight, just Davey’s table of pedals spitting out this rhythmic headbanger.ĭownload FREE at Free Music Archive Drainolith “Fighting”Īlexander Moskos, ex- of AIDS Wolf, doing his (mainly) solo project thing. Is it because his noise just rocks too hard or his shows are too much FUN that Davey Mincemeat has still not been on the cover of WIRE magazine or whatever? No clue, but you’d be wise to grab this free digital album. I keep wondering when the larger noise world will discover that Mincemeat or Tenspeed is about the best thing going on.
This list is in no particular order, and I didn’t limit myself to any number. Despite 2011 being The Year the Noise-Rock Bubble Burst, there was a load of killer noise-rock/no-wave in 2012, including several exciting NEW bands. The year has ended and I now present the No-Core Best of 2012 list! Or as it may more accurately be named, the albums I should have reviewed in 2012 round-up.
