Black Dice - Creature Comforts

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I went into this a little annoyed at Hisham's declining influence -- I really liked the song on the Miles of Smiles EP where he starts playing the insane distorted fast pattern midway through all the electronic noise.

I'm on my second listen through the new album. It didn't make the huge impression that Beaches and Canyons did the first time, but it certainly doesn't suck. A lot of the songs seem to focus more on the (surprisingly tuneful) guitar riffs and less on the pulse of the percussion and vocal chanting.

It seems more playful, less scary weed freakouts at 3 am to be found here; more of a music for relaxing in the backyard in the afternoon.

The guitar tone on the first song kinda reminds me of Brown Eyed girl.

PS - Still not V∞redoms, good try though!

― NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS REMIND YOU THAT ZERO IS ALSO A NUMBER (ex machina), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

"Skeleton" is amazing. I remember it well from their gigs last year.
Otherwise, I agree, it could have used more of the freakouts from Miles of Smiles and B&C.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Creature is pretty good, I really dig the rhythm. (Listening to Skeleton now.)

― NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS REMIND YOU THAT ZERO IS ALSO A NUMBER (ex machina), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Are there freakouts on Miles of Smiles? Maybe I wasn't playing it loud enough. I just bought it the other day. Sounded cool though. I definitely want to hear the new one.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Scott, there's this really great part where the drums go INSANE out of nowhere -- I fucking love it. I hope Hisham starts a new band soon. :((((

Anyone know if Pixeltan is becoming reactivated?

― NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS REMIND YOU THAT ZERO IS ALSO A NUMBER (ex machina), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I intended "freakouts" to mean not only rhythmic freakouts (in abundance on B&C) but also "electronic" freakouts, in which things are moving along pleasantly, only to be interrupted by several minutes of noise and wacky spaceship sounds.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I will listen again when I can crank it. (baby and mother might not like it.)

Jon, while I'm here, is that wolf eyes on sub pop a re-release or new stuff? I like it a lot. I bought the vinyl cuz the cover is so groovy.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought i remembered someone saying that it is something old, but maybe that was something else.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I love it. Beautiful, engaging record. It is surprising in its departure from Beaches & Canyons, but I commend them for taking a chance, and like the new style a lot (almost a 180 from the ambient noise of their latest efforts). "Skeleton" and the last track are my favorites.

― jordache, Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yea, I think the Wolf Eyes thing shares a song title or something with some other release, but I believe it is all new recordings.

― NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS REMIND YOU THAT ZERO IS ALSO A NUMBER (ex machina), Saturday, 15 May 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

hahah, I just put on Karera Musication's soundtrack to Ichi The Killer and realized why Boredoms are so much better than their American Fanboy Imitators.

to clear things up, "Stabbed in the Face" is a brand new Wolf Eyes song. It shares a title with the rarely mentioned split LP with Panicsville.

Glad to help.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

What Black Dice don't do is almost as important as what they do do. For instance, they don't just twiddle around and let a fixed beat kick in, then arrange the twiddling around it. There's a constantly-shifting focus of attention, and a continuous subtle disorientation. The tracks never quite settle into anything predictable, and the gestures are big, noisy, eccentric ones which seem to draw on musique concrete one moment, African high-life the next. It's hard to place the ambience: scary or playful, warm or cold, personal or impersonal, strange or familiar? And that's a good place to leave the listener.

I woke up at 4am to the sound of 'Treetops' playing on Mixing It. Now, that means I slept through all the other music on the show, but there was something about 'Treetops' that grated uniquely, or cross-hatched my sleep patterns. It means that there's something different about this music, on quite a deep level, from other music. I woke up terrified, thinking that my computer had a poltergeist in it. I still can't listen to the piece without a frisson of that terror, that ostranenie. Rilke said 'Beauty is the first glimpse of terror we're still just able to bear', and Black Dice confirm it.

― Shake Your Halo Down! (ex machina), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

SEMEN OF THE SUN is the ONLY good BLACK DICE.

― ddb (ddb), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Yea, _Semen of the Sun_ is fucking brilliant, esp the song with the recorder. I'm REALLY into the sound of that record, if not the pacing, and its a deliberate influence in my own stuff. (Also, _#3_)

There's this great description of this era of Black Dice by John Olsen (from Wolf Eyes): "This was in a totally different sound universe where the air is filled with concrete. It was louder in the street than it was in the basement black hole of sound."

I think it really sums up the _Semen_ era nicely.

― Shake Your Halo Down! (ex machina), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't like 'Semen of the Sun' at all. It's just a rawk band turning up to 111.

Sure, why not? I'm getting similar sorts of subcultural reverberations about the whole thing. Noise as a lifestyle, emphasis on live music and jamming, 'noise brings people together,' goofy outfits, 'blowing your mind,' that kinda stuff.

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Noise as a lifestyle, emphasis on live music and jamming, 'noise brings people together,' goofy outfits, 'blowing your mind,' that kinda stuff

see i think you've got several of these parts wrong

1) "noise as a lifestyle" + "noise brings people together"

i think the operative thing about grateful dead and phish were not that music brought people together or was a lifestyle but that life performance brought people together. the lifestyle was the tour and the show, not the music.

2) "emphasis on live music"

but the black dice don't even play instruments, maaaan. it's not even REAL music!! and that's sort of an important point. they were jamming but they were also super-tight and super-practiced. what the dice do with texture (blowing your mind) phish did with live band dynamics that only come from practicing practicing practicing until you can follow each other in infinitely tight circles. that's not the black dice AT ALL.

i imagine the swelling black dice fanbase is a lot of refugees from hardcore and math rock (you want something extended and loose - phish were never loose) and even more importantly from IDM and ambient music, who want something rawer and more aggressive.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

eYe as noise beard.

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

gygax, that's a cheap shot. The only Black Dice record that sounds like Boredoms is B&C, and the new one is arguably more interesting than what I've heard from the Vooredoms shows. I know that's heresy, but to be honest, I think *Boredoms* broke up because they knew they weren't going to get better than VCN. Vooredoms music is a lot less complex than VCN to my ears, and much more jammy than people in this thread are saying about Black Dice.

really, now that Phish has broken up, there should be groundswell in B/Voredoms fans. Or at least Rovo!!

JUST KIDDING!

from what i gathered, I'm not sure if the band was so comfortable with the idea of breaking up. that's why there's so little in the way of lineup changes btw. boredoms/v00redoms.

but the black dice paradigm shift followed by sudden pandering to EY3 raised my left eyebrow a few millimeters.

moral of the story: all hardcore/noise bands should start taking lots of drugs once they reach their mid-20s.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Vahid, I didn't say the live experiences could map on to each other in any meaningful way, I just wanted to point out that there's a real "you HAVE to catch these dudes live to understand" thing in both situations, more with groups like Lightning Bolt than with Black Dice, granted, but still.

I should add, I really like most of the bands being discussed on these threads. The whole jam band analogy is pretty flawed, I admit -- I'm just more surprised/amazed/bemused that a scence seems to be coalescing for this kind of music. That probably says more about me and my naivete, or that I'm getting a distorted picture of things from reading so much ILX, than it says about the actual noise scene, but I can't help picking up on these kind of things.

Also, Black Dice has so much more SPACE in their sound than Boredoms did. Voredoms certainly has a more space than Boredoms, but they sound nothing like BD and more like Steve Reich's Drumming.

― Becky (Rebecca), Friday, 25 June 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I left in the middle of the set because when lauren came over to say "hi," we got sprayed with some sort of beer or water by some asshole behind us. Fuck that shit, I ain't waiting around to get the rest of my psychedelic sounds disturbed by some fucking trucker hat dick (or "hipster faggots" as the dude from Juan MacLean exclaimed!).

First hip-hop band, whatever they're called, sucked. Anti-Pop - the one sorta charismatic guy = big time suck-o. Maybe one good beat in their entire set.

Juan MacLean was okay but a little too restless. Nice noise bits inbetween beats tho. I wanna be in a band where alls I gotta do is touch a theremin and drink beer. Shit's easy.

Black Dice was good, had great visuals, good experience at beginning, but 1) needs Hisham 2) was ruined by dickhead crowd. Too bad 'cause Volume's a cool space (aside from the asshole bouncers).

Did I tell you about the time I saw Crom Tech and Dave Matthews play the same night? I know, I so crazy. I made my sister go with me to the Crom Tech show since I was escorting her to the Dave Matthews gig, and she thought it was pretty fun.

― People love Gravity and Ebullition! (ex machina), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

They weren't on the same bill! They were across town from one another. But I like to imagine a show where Dave Matthews opens up for Crom Tech. Or they jam together, on a sweet rendition of "Ants Marching -- > iXgloglourIIglo GLOiiIIxix ORGAalaastIXiX"

Black Dice take the Hardcore template, Autechre take a Hip Hop template
Both acts soon skew these beyond all recognition
Both acts are soon labelled pioneers of whatever furrow they're ploughing, releasing albums that inspire many followers and imitators with moments of sublime clarity but a lot of contentious head-up-arsery as well

I really liked the last two albums, load blown and repo - both full of very strange, almost maniacal, heath robinson-esque, ugly, clattering, technicolor, club-footed robot-sex grooves, the former with occasional tropical island vibes.

my favourite black dice is still the gravity 7". i do like the hippyjam stuff but it gets gradually less and less interesting after cone toaster

actually saying that, i'm quite a big fan of mile of smiles

i think the gravity 7 is the only release i've never heard?

Cold Hands is my other favourite, its the one that stands in for their whole arc: HC thrash, ~atmospherics~ home-soldered electronics.

I don't really remember the gravity 7" too well but the semen of the sun 7" is pretty great little slab of harsh, noisy hardcore.

this, miles of smiles, and roll up/drool are my favorite BD records. B&Cs has aged pretty poorly IMO

i dont think so, but then i got into Black Dice after that record and i never thought it was one of the best.

i think it was an awkward step -- they wanted to be PSYCHEDELIC, and they seemed too locked into a rock version of psychedelia or something.

― 69, Friday, 13 August 2010 22:01 (fifteen years ago)

and when they let go of the signifiers of rock, they succeeded more at psychedelia, i think.

i think beaches and canyons is fantastic. its all about hisham bharoocha's drums on that record

the gravity 7" is basically noisy hardcore, but there's something so nihilistic about it that somehow always draws me back

i dont know -- tribal psych-rock drumming got really played for me, around 2005. i liked SEADRUM/HOUSE OF SUN, but seeing boredoms that year, it was like, MEHHHHHH

― 69, Friday, 13 August 2010 22:22 (fifteen years ago)

wasnt beaches and canyons 2004?

― plax (ico), Friday, 13 August 2010 22:24 (fifteen years ago)

wait 2002 even earlier

― plax (ico), Friday, 13 August 2010 22:24 (fifteen years ago)

yeah i just think it hasnt aged well since 2005
