If It's Too Loud...

Two legends of underground/experimental music, Thurston Moore and Bonner Kramer (fka Kramer) have collaborated on an upcoming album. The first single from that album, "Urn Burial," is a trippy and drone-y four minute musical experiment. There's an organ reminiscent of classic garage rock, along with percussion that seems to be doing what it wants, and noisy guitar threatening to drag everything down with it. As you would expect, "Urn Burial" is certainly not going to be for everyone, but if you are familiar with both or either artist, you're probably going to be into the song. Moore and Kramer are legends for a reason, and this latest project shows exactly why. Thurston Moore says of his upcoming collaborative album with Bonner Kramer: “This album is our duo-exchange for human dignity, it is our soul music for any semblance of a peaceful planet.”   You can watch the video for "Urn Burial" below.

Squanderers formed as a duo David Grubbs and producer Kramer for a Kramer box set. They've now added guitarist Wendy Eisenberg and released an album late last year. Their new single/video is something that isn't meant for everyone, but if it works for you, welcome to your new obsession. "Theme for Contrails" is a blend of noise rock and experimental free form jazz. It's five and a half minutes of experimentation that allows the song room to breathe and go where it needs to go. It's noisy without being heavy and elevates noise and feedback into true artforms. If you were a fan of Sonic Youth's SYR album series, "Theme for Contrails" is going to be your type of thing.  You can watch the video for "Theme for Contrails" below. If a Body Meet a Body is out now on Shimmy-Disc. For more on Squanderers, check out Wendy Eisenberg on Instagram , and David Grubbs also on Instagram here .
