MP3: Pistol Disco - Radiation
Man, those Pistol Disco dudes are such sellouts - they've totally gone from no-wave noise to no-wave noise with a beat! A beat you could dance to! Obviously, I'm kidding about the whole sellout accusation, but the duo's new album "Radiation" is far more pop than I would expect. It's pop that could still melt your face and peel the paint off your walls, but yes, pop nonetheless. Behind the caustic wall of distortion lurks slow, deliberate melodies. The clashing sound waves create new, ever-shifting overtones as the chords change. There's a few quieter tracks on the record, but it's the all-out-assault of stuff like opener/title-track "Radiation" that are the best. Put this on at your next dance party and see what happens.
