Consisting of three new tracks, Tiles Whisper Dreams is Car Bomb's first new music to be released since 2019's Mordial album and it marks the New York band's 25th year of existence. In that quarter-century, Car Bomb has built and trademarked its own singular style: a spiraling flurry of rhythm and texture that congeals, fleetingly, into planet-pulverizing death-grooves and fragments of haunting melodies. Baffling rhythmic modulations and deep-space guitar effects appear to warp time completely. On Tiles Whisper Dreams, the veteran quartet sounds as vicious and as exploratory as ever.
Guitarist Greg Kubacki states: "One has to sort of get lost in their own world to find their own unique sound, and that just comes from a lot of trial and error."
Opening with an odd-time groove and laser-fire guitars, then devolving into a section capable of inducing actual nausea, "Blindsides" rocks and disorients, simultaneously. "Stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back," bellows vocalist Michael Dafferner at his most Nietzschean; halfway through the song, Dafferner flips the script and unleashes his soaring singing voice. Five minutes in total, "Blindsides" sees Car Bomb flaunting all its facets and pushing all its limits, resulting in a song that shows the band at its heaviest, its most time-bending, and its most melodic.
Kubacki describes the "Blindsides" video as "a fake trailer for a fictitious 80’s animated movie" with inspirations including "Akira, Aeon Flux, Studio Ghibli and David Lynch."
Tiles Whisper Dreams was recorded at Silvercord Studio in Queens, New York, the studio owned by Gojira's Joe Duplantier, and at the band members' home studios. The album was mixed by Johann Meyer at Silvercord and mastered by Grammy Award winner Ted Jensen (The Eagles, Green Day).
Car Bomb will tour Europe and the UK in August, including dates with Gojira, Between the Buried and Me, and Imperial Triumphant.
