Oh shit.

Now Playing: Sunn O))) - Cannon

Holy hell. Lemmie tell you. This past 3 weeks or so, I've been exploring tons of music. From hip-hop (I've started listening to MF DOOM again, waiting for his new album), rock (lolvague, stuff like Raidohead and Animal Collective), to the stuff you would never hear on the raido (see Merzbow). What I'm getting at is that I've been trying to expose myself to as much music as I can. Pros? I find more stuff I like. Cons? I find more stuff I don't. Let's get to why I'm writing this entry. You can think of this as an artist review. Sorta. There might be more to come as i see fit. Anywho, one of my favorite bands of the now; mutha fuckin' Sunn O))).

Damn do I like these guys. Here be a little bio. Two dudes met when one was in high school and the other in community college. Bling. Where would you place this in a genre? Drone/metal/ambient in one sexified manner. I will admit, I was kinda "eh" at first when I started listening to the album Black One. I decided to just stick with it till the end of the album. I don't regret it. It seemed like monotonous droning for 10 minutes a track, but after finishing it, I felt like I wanted more. I thought it was missing something. So I listened to it again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

And each time, I kept hearing something different, different screams and distortions that I didn't pick up the 1st and 2nd time. To me, it's constantly changing, and just got better and better the more I listened to it. I feel that music now-a-days just lacks that. This music gives me a strange feeling in my stomach each time I listen to it. Now a days, I'm looking for more than just ear candy. I'm looking for art of some kind. I feel I've found it. But I'll say this, it's not for everyone. I say give it a listen. Try it. What have you got to lose?

Zomg, I really dig this group.
