5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun!,
By Paul H. "rmj84" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beaches & Canyons (Audio CD)
Black Dice is bedtime noise rock. Easily their most subdued release thus far (compared to the Cold Hands EP and the self-titled EP anyway), Beaches & Canyons is downright pretty in some parts, and completely relentless in others. In fact, most of the songs are a set-up. "Seabird" opens with an assortment of random noises before the drums crash in and all is let loose. Most of the other songs work through the same template, and to great effect. It all accumulates to "Big Drop," easily the most chaotic piece on the record, but still strangely laid-back. If anything, Black Dice has gotten stranger, not more accessible, by focusing their relentless sub-hardcore noise rock attack into a potent mix of manipulated found sounds, beats, and general randomness. A tough release to get into, but a rewarding one as well.

A new direction for psychedlia?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beaches & Canyons (Audio CD)
With the hype that surrounds currect indie artists such as Bright Eyes, the White Stripes and the Shins, few among the latter (or practically any singed band)demonstrate as much originality and potency in their sound as Black Dice have done with this superb release. Traditional song structure and lyrics are replaced with compositions that shift in dynamics and vocal sounds that bear more resemblance to a wolverine getting anally probed with a hot poker while simultaneously being sprayed in the eyes with scalding urine. You get the idea, I trust. Stakes new territory only hinted at previously as the Brooklyn quartet explores ambient/incidental music, noise, industrial as well psychedlia for a unique listening experience. Highlight track? "The Dream is Going Down". Buy it even if the preview sound clips aren't provided.
