MICROWAVES + Decibel

"...get lost in the sonic barbed wire and fun house mirror quality of the band’s outsider art."

Microwaves’ newest LP, Via Weightlessness, is being released by Three One G Records on September 28th.

Preorder here.

Via Weightlessness tones down the band's previous effects-heavy approach, charging lean and unabated toward their dystopian vision. Kuzy’s guitar chimes through the mix with spindly atonal runs more akin to data streams spat from an outdated mainframe, alternately careening into chugging, crossover-thrash riffs. The Roman/Arlett rhythm section is much more than the sum of its parts: Beefheartian clamor served up with cyborg precision underpins overdriven bass, rumbling forth frenziedly as a DMT-dosed rhino. Kuzy, the paranoid town crier, and Arlett, the unhinged shrieker, deliver a twin-vocal assault covering most topics previously found in your local video rental shop’s cult/sci-fi section.
