D. RIDER
 

Now, this band really fucking excites me. "DECONSTRUCTIONIST ROCK" (you know, kinda like no wave but a lot more musically complex.. but still not avant-progressive... but kinda rock in opposition... haha. Give it a label!) a la -- and related to -- Shorty, U.S. Maple, Miracle Condition -- as well as some Beefheart, Bride of No No, Malade De Souci, and so on..

Here's thee old myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dridermusic .. you will be impressed. Or not. But you will definitely feel something. Or nothing.

Check out their album MOTHER OF CURSES, it's a definite highlight of music. If you're into insanely unconventional music where all the instruments are cheerfully pulling apart from each other, every single one constantly playing in a different time signature with such a refined, constant force and fury... this is your album. There are minimal keyboards, effected saxopones, dark as hell bass, clean out of tune guitars, snare happy drums, and the d. in the name stands for DEATH.

Just wanted to also mention that magic markers and spry paint cans are instruments on this album, yet there are no toms of any kind on the album. In fact, the first song is called "Arranged Marriage to No Toms"... well, there ya go, I guess!

I've seriously been getting re-addicted to U.S. Maple. You guys should also check out these albums from that camp:

. Singer - Unhistories
. Shorty - Thumb Days and fResh Breath
. Miracle Condition - 68 Degrees and the s/t 2010 album
. every U.S. Maple album (SANG PHAT EDITOR is my favorite; TALKER is probably the most fucked-up)

which are all completely excellent.

check out their insane new video
