Multicult.
Multicult.
It's a name that we've been hearing for a while now. The Baltimore trio has been steadily garnering
attention and praise (apparently, aside from one silly ass dude who
seems stuck under some Big Black-Steve Albini rock). They've released a few recordings, and, in 2012, (Total
bros and sisters) Sleeping Giant Glossolalia released Spaces Tangled.
I plead some ignorance about this band. I'd heard the rumblings and listened to a few tracks from their 2010 S/T, but it wasn't until I saw the
SGG's release last year that I did some more legwork, which basically
meant hanging out on Multicult's bandcamp for about an hour.
If Multicult
is anything, it certainly isn't background music. Mulcult pieces
together solid noise-rock jams with elements ranging from mathy / jazzy beats
to straight-up abrupt hardcore. The record pushes up against
abrasive, yet it doesn't sacrifice rhythm. The songs get stuck in
your head, clawing and shredding your cochlear labyrinth, and leaving you in a
blissful trance. In ways, Multicult feels
paired down, but the trio offers awesomely constructed songs that
allow for each component (drums, guitar, vocals, bass) to tangle
around each other but without any of the sounds eclipsing the others.
It's
really very pleasing.
Chaotic and technical at the same time,
Multicult is infectious and overwhelming in their ability to split
open tonal spaces and fill them with a technically sound blunt force.
