Release Notes:
The music of volcano! is an intense and
exhilarating explosion of sound, with rusty hinges
exposed and oil dripping from its gears. This young
Chicago rock trio is unashamedly freeform in scope,
but their songs are meticulously arranged and
skillfully executed. Beautiful Seizure is their
auspicious debut.
There's formidable ambition in this sound: Sam
Scranton drums in a frantic, disjointed style, less
maintaining the beat than pushing the songs towards
collapse; Mark Cartwright trades off bass and
electronics, interjecting shards of brutal,
pristine noise that distinguish volcano! from their
peers; Aaron With's tumultuous guitar adds another
layer of intensity, while his voice acts as a
far-ranging net, collecting everything in a
confident, sinewy delivery that recalls Black
Francis' most ribald moments and Thom Yorke's most
commanding û sometimes violent, often vulnerable.
Together, volcano! match the fervent dynamism of
Deerhoof and Black Dice with the powerhouse
innovation of PIL or The Ex, pushing traditional
structures to their limits while maintaining a
secure melodic footing throughout. The uninhibited
emotional expression of Archie Shepp and Pharoah
Sanders is another crucial influence.
Like a psychedelic national anthem, Easy Does It
rides a taut wire of sound before spitting forth a
fiery chorus. The song's off-kilter approach only
really comes into focus after a few spins, and it's
the reward of repeated hearings that finally sets
volcano! into Favorite Band sphere.
The Leaf Label has a long history of releasing
adventurous, original and gifted artists from
around the world, but for the first time in their
ten-year history, they have found a rock band fit
for inclusion.
