Psychic Paramount

I'm only a few songs in, but this record by The Psychic Paramount is killing me. Probably the loudest thing I've heard all year. The band is half (by the sound of it, the good half) of former NYC art-rockers Laddio Bolocko, one of the sickest groups to rise from this hobbled city in years. Anyway, this new shit is insane. The first track sounds like Kevin Sheilds and Matthew Bower doing battle in a warehouse full of broken FX pedals. Brutal My Bloody Valentine-like swathes of sound, probably the best display of MBV sonic sludge since Loveless. Seriously. And did I mention it's LOUD?!?

This record scares me...
