i was just listening to this album again yesterday. it's very very good

solo album from Brian Gibson! http://thrilljockey.com/products/thumper-thrill-435

Brian Gibson, bassist for the ballistic duo Lightning Bolt, makes his solo debut on Thumper, approaching the rhythmic violence his music is known for with a propensity for tense, electronic thrusts, pulsing synth swells, and symphonic bursts. Drawing from music originally created for the hit video game of the same name that Gibson created the art and music for, the album takes the listener on a trek through trans-dimensional journey where the brutality of the music’s momentum is equally entrancing. Despite the presence of lush, even soothing tones, the tensions that blossom from each track overwhelm the senses to invigorating effect.

You shouldn't put too much stock into what breathless press releases say but that makes it sound amazing. Hope it's good.

this is a categorical banger.

Oh hell yeah, look forward to checking this! Seems like a shout out to old label / tour mates USAisaMonster also. Maybe they will get convinced to make another record as well ....

can't get over that wailing. 2019 is ripe for lightning bolt

Fantasy Empire was so good ... their best ever, imo, though I imagine that's not the consensus. Anyway, looking forward to this.

I'm not quite sure I'd go as far as best ever, but it was absolutely fantastic and just as good as the high points of the initial run. Really looking forward to this new one.

Sounds like Lightning...Blues? Definitely one of the most straightforwardly riffy things I've heard them do.

recent Brooklyn show was a real ripper, despite kinda bougie warehouse venue space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Pbm9cG1L4

ugh sorry for bad formatting

Got the new album in the mail, haven't listened yet. Yes?

it slays, maybe my favorite one yet on contact, maximum riffage

one of the great american rock bands

Can't believe these dudes have been this intense for 25 years

they're playing Desert Daze pretty late on Sunday so might hafta miss em

yeah I listened it's awesome

They were *so* good last night and the crowd had so much wild energy. No idea where Chippendale gets his stamina from.

I’ll never get to watch Lightning Bolt play live :(

lol

Dude is hilarious; at one point he took out his phone and took a selfie with the crowd in the background and was like "yeah, that's a good one!" When they came out for the encore he started talking about eating bananas and the crowd ended up chanting "POTASSI-UM! "POTASSI-UM!"

this might be that selfie: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5uBIU6JwU-/?igshid=1k6hovidp15ln
