No Age - "Nouns" (Out Now) ("Eraser")

[Coin-Operated [Boy]]

This experimental rock duo is back with their sophomore effort (via Sub Pop now) and everyone is raving about it. The new record is only 30 minutes but it's a rich and brimming 30 minutes. The album is a symphony of experimental punk rock sounds that when summed up, sound surprisingly cohesive. "Eraser" (1st single) is a great way to be introduced to them, it's catchy and immediate so listen to it.

Me, too. I mean, I've heard of them but haven't sat down and listened to them yet (que shock, horror!).

I predict a huge blog extravaganza these upcoming months (not that they don't already have a growing following anyway). The album is too noisy at times but I love it, they squeezed in a few quiet moments in there, which made them contrast. I'm putting it into heavy rotation this week, it's bound to grow on me (even more).
