Indian Jewelry - Free Gold! (2008)


Sounds like: Hotboxing the Velvet Underground in slow-motion, Flying Saucer Attack wearing leather jackets, precise cave jams
Mp3:Pompeii, Swans

Listening to the second release from Texas-based trio Indian Jewelry is a trip. Unlike a lot of noisy experimental bands though, it's a measured trip. The average track length charts in around 3 minuets. No obnoxious ten minuet drone sessions here. Every track is a distorted dirge; a thick gray sludge dripping from your speakers. The record can sound a little smug sometimes, but you can't blame people for feeling cool when they dropped an album this heavy.
