Harpoon's 2nd and most recent album. in the 2 years since they released Double Gnarly/Triple Suicide  they've improved by leaps and bounds. they've added a 3rd member to the band in D.J. Barraca (bassist for Lair of the Minotaur, another great Chicago band that i'll be getting to soon). i don't know if that has anything to do with the sound change but i'm happy either way.

(if anyone cares, "To the Tall Trees" is the track off the Locrian split that i mentioned in my last post. i should've probably mentioned that then...)

12. The Difficulty in Listening to the Elderly

i first heard these guys on a split they did with Locrian. they're a 2 man drum machine grind band from Chicago featuring Toney Vast-Binder (of 7000 Dying Rats) on vocals and Dean Costello handling guitar, bass and drum programming. at times it reminded me a bit of Plague Bringer but the riffs aren't as good and the vocals are occasionally a little...i dunno, sometimes i just don't dig 'em. overall it's a pretty rad album though.

noisy as hell experimental rock from the Netherlands. in the cd case it says that "all songs and improvisations" were recorded in September/October. i don't know if that means the tracks are all improv or if some stuff was written and some improv-ed or what the deal is but the results are pretty sweet. limited to 400 copies, it's definitely worth checking out if you can get your hands on it.
