Exclusive: Heavy Heavy Low Low Stream Entire New Album on SPIN.com
Have a listen to the spacey math-rock act's just-released sophomore set, Turtle Nipple
Heavy Heavy Low Low's pummeling assault of experimental thrash rock explodes with eruptive force. And here, you can experience the sonic flogging for yourself with SPIN.com's exclusive stream of the band's sophomore record, Turtle Nipple and the Toxic Shock, which dropped yesterday on Ferret. Check out the album via the player below.
The San Jose, CA, quintet's frenetic, and sometimes cartoonish, affect is on display in the album's psychedelic artwork and opening cut "Hahahahahahaha," a 39-second collection of electrical white noise and ambient industrial decay sounds. Throughout the album, the spazztastic rockers build on their punk and hardcore roots, adding elements of math-rock's nimble fretboard wizardry and grind's bombast.
Fittingly, Turtle Nipple and the Toxic Shock closes with the track "Please, That Bitch Will Outlive Us All," a 15-minute bender that kicks off with aggressive breakdowns and pulsing guitar shunts before easing into a drawn-out series of monotonous modulating electrical blips as the conclusion comes in the final minute with a dance-y jungle beat. Icing on the cake? A wickedly belligerent cover of Black Flag's "Wasted."
Listen to the record in the player below, and catch Heavy Heavy Low Low live on a four-week tour with HORSE the Band this fall.
