Up until ten minutes ago I had never heard of this experimental band from Brooklyn. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore seems to be a fan. I am listening to the second track of the album and I am fascinated by their soundscapes. It's not really music they make. More sounds and noises. But their stuff is very different from Autechre's. Less mechanic, less electronic but much more organic.

In the first track I heard bird noises, not surprising considering the title Seabird. The second Things Will Never Be the Same started with the sound of sea waves. Now I hear people shouting in the background. The shouting is somehow distorted and fuzzy. I have to continue listening to this tomorrow.

If you like challenging music you should check the Black Dice out. Beaches and Canyons is album of the week at the BBC. You can stream it in its entirety.

P.S. There definitely is an ambient feel about this music. With some instrumental Krautrock (Tangerine Dream, Neu!, Faust) influences. Plus a grain of Godspeed build-up. Some discussion at ILM: Black Dice - Beaches & Canyons: C/D?
