Got to see this hairy chain gang of Manchester

cosmos-manglers bulldoze a hole in the sky at

the Islington Mill last summer when Pocahaunted

and Sun Araw were on tour in the UK, and the

experience left an impression. Jamming their

self-released LP was a nice forced flashback

but we wanted more and, fortunately, Gnod are

obliging types (they spearheaded the post-show

dance party when we were in town). That said,

we werenТt braced for the 60-minute astral sludge

opus Science & Industry when it landed in our mail-

box. Opening with a low-end raga of wah guitar,

spoken word, and spaghetti western trumpet trills,

the piece gradually builds in volume, density, and

desperation, finally exploding at the 10-minute mark

into a pummeling storm of drums and heavily delayed

horns that sounds like the soundtrack to a movie about

post-apocalyptic galaxies at war. From there things

get intense. ThereТs stomping bruiser anthems (think

Motorhead on elephant tranquilizers), swirling space

rock rituals, crushing Loop-style (circa Fade Out)

downer ballads, zoned motorik rhythm workouts, biker

howling, black holes, science, industry, infinity,

whatever. In short: this is your brain on Gnod.

CanТt even describe what a magnetic wrecking ball

this album is, an April European tour should help

spread the word. Pro-dubbed and imprinted tapes in

ghost-face J-cards designed by Amanda. Edition of 100.
