Their first, but not last, secret album. Recorded and pressed to vinyl and available at shows in 2012. A bigger standard release came a little later, but they just made and released a record without telling anyone. After No, secert albums/ suprise drops became their thing, like the 2 Ape of God albums and Seminar VIII and IX.
That moment in late 90s emo, when bands started getting a little poppier, but before The Promise Ring went full Electric Pink. Thats The Ritornello Form.
A million years ago, I was at the door of an Eagles Lodge paying to get into a show, and the dude running the door just like half shouted, "Ugh is someone wearing cologne?" He looked directly at me, and I very sarcastically said, "Yeah, I absolutely wore cologne to the show." He looked at the other dude running the door and said, "Of course it would be the guy in the Empire State Games shirt."
One of the guys from Sunn0))) making the type of music you would expect, but it is all inspired by Bernard Herrmann, the composer behind movies like Vertigo, Psycho, Cape Fear, and Citizen Kane.
NIMB stands for "No Input Mixing Board," meaning this was created with no sound input of any kind. The "music" is made by manipulating the feedback of plugging the mixing board into itself. There are pedals and effects, but nothing that is intended to produce sound.
