Black Dice

o yeah read about it somewhere recently. what does it sound like (eg in comparison to previous albums)

there are some good black dice clips from back in the day on youtube now, was just watching some t'other night

cant wait!

I love how this is gonna be out just in time for my birthday

this sounds cool. i think im more excited for the art booklet than the music.

Sounds really like Copeland's solo stuff, esp the last one.

this is a good thing

haha, I'm getting a little bit of an earthbound vibe from that:

totally - the solo work has spilled over into the main project, and def for the better. the dice just seem more open, looser, etc while still seeming a bit inhuman, too. it's hard to explain, i've only listened twice so far.

yeah, its like their balearic album maybe! i was startin' to get a bit sick of their overtly dancey stuff

thats how i felt about roll up/drool. very very burbly, which i looooove.

This might be their Merriweather Post Pavilion. Ha. No but really-just "located" this. It's great.

It's already leaked?

This might be the first album in years I wait for the physical.

Spent all day listening to the Smiling off remixes.

i think Earthbound and balearic are off the mark, but feel it's kin to MPP, but in their own inscrutable way. if anything, Repo sorta makes Dice come full circle and i find it to be really punk. it's also bursting at the seams, messy as fuck, and i'm just glad that they've sorta reinvigorated themselves with this one. it also coheres with their visual aesthetic (not that Load Blown didn't).
seeing as how it comes with a 20 page book of art, the physical (rather than the leak) will be sweet meat indeed.

where can this be found? all of my usual tricks are failing me atm

I was sent it via e-mail from a connected buddy. Much like Ducktails (stupid, ignored thread I started) this shit is good with some shit. If you know what ah mean.

I'm sure it will be floating around soon

Well you're definitely right about it being more rough and ready (I'm basing all of this on Glazin btw) but its also looser, stretched at the seams, blissed out, but not in a boredoms psych-ey beaches and canyons but in a trashier VIBEZZ kinda way. Like something washed up at Ibiza maybe.

Someone hit me up with this on AIM, pls: brightscreamer

One thing I miss about old black dice was the hardcore vox,

So, Repo is "out". Personally, I think it's their best yet. Well, at least their gooiest. I like goo ya know? I'm on my third listen. Awesome stuff. Anyone else heard?

Listening now

really liking repo. it's extremely chewable and funky.

Is it just me or do parts of this sound like the more fucked up, sonically abstract elements of Ween? Like their early shit. Ween that is.

I've told you I'm not gonna listen to this until it actually comes out.

I gave up on them shortly after Broken Ear Record - couldn't get into that one and didn't bother to listen to the next one that came out properly. How does this compare?

i gave it a listen, its awful

didn't listen too closely but super roots 6 came to mind.

Rarely listen to Broken Ear Record, but yanked it out since someone mentioned it. It was better than I remember, Street Dude kinda knocked me square.

So chocolate cherry = awesome and surprising!

best black dice release since roll up/drool IMO!

Its really cute too, most Boredomsy thing they've ever done IMO!

can't stop listening to Hermaphrodite and Alien In a Garbage Dump today, the middle tracks are fucking brilliant on Hermaphrodite, I had been skipping them to get to Dinca/Scumpipe which is the absolute pinnacle u no

Spacehead is some straight garbage though

yah finally got round to repo btw

such a solid output

these guys have been my stando answer for favourite band for a while

Just finally picked up the Cold Hands EP the other day. Have yet to listen, but I've not been able to find that one until now. I think this may complete my Black Dice 2" or so of shelf space...!

hold hands is my 2nd or 3rd faveourite. its kinda the crucial bridge between the early singles and b+c

haha, it'd be awesome if they had a record called hold hands.

lol yah ooops

new one is weird

heard the show the other night with wolf eyes/growing was a sweat lodge

lol emusic

I should ask about Growing, I saw them open for someone, maybe Fuck Buttons? It was pretty good.

this new song (Pinball Wizard) is sweet!

http://soundcloud.com/ribbonmusic/black-dice-pinball-wizard

sweet is not the right word. it definitely is heavy though.

i am undecided, sort of feels like they're treading water even tho ~percussive~ is a good black dice mode. the latter half is great tho

Yeah, he tried to rip me off in a similar way

Repo becomes more of a masterpiece every year

Flaccid Mojo, which is Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren from Black Dice, just put out a really good debut album: https://flaccidmojo.bandcamp.com/album/fm
A little like Mod Prog Sic but looser/weirder

This sounds pretty much like a black dice album, enjoying this a lot.

This might be better than the last Black Dice LP, tbh

FM playing SF on Tuesday (support No Age) hmmmm

sounds cool but the j dwyer blurb made me vomit in my mouth
