This one snuck up on me. I’ve liked previous Locrian releases (especially the Mamiffer collaboration), but I sort of forgot about the band. But I kept seeing that cube album cover and finally gave it a listen. It grabbed me right away. New Catastrophism is one of my favorite releases of 2022.
Drone with less noise.
I’m pretty sure posting this band two days in a row is breaking my own rules for this site. Even if yesterday was a collaboration.
Go listen to and then buy everything this band has.
*Between the time I wrote this and when I published it, several records in the linked store sold out. Move fast.
I can not stop listening to this album.
Mamiffer is Aaron Turner of Isis, House of Low Culture, and a million other bands, and Faith Coloccia, formerly of Everlovely Lightningheart. Their releases in the past have been pretty hit or miss for me, with more being “eh, I don’t care” than “this is amazing.”
I know absolutely nothing about Locrian, but I’m probably going to fix that issue.
Go buy it, it's stupid expensive, but amazing.
