Haaz play noise
rock/post-hardcore - their own tag
of "indie noise rock"
does not do justice to the explosion of power,
aggression and raw
slabs of sonic destruction that emerge when
the play button is
pressed.
Dark rumbling bass
which sounds like it is played through a
distortion pedal or
just turned up fucking loud mixes with the
pounding drums to
produce the platform from which the fuzzed up,
on the
edge-of-constant-feedback guitars can riff off. Ah man,
the riffs in the
songs are groove ridden monsters that make me want
to break things while
laughing like a maniac. Such evil joy and
wanton glee are in
the tunes - they lodge deep in your brain and
make other music seem
dull and insipid.
Crooning, shouting,
yelling - the vocals sound like David Yow
performing under the
influence of un-tested drugs, ranting about
self loathing with
the world and maybe oneself.
The entire sound is
deep, sludgey but with the uncomplicated
song passages that
contains all I love about noise rock. So
much denseness is
contained in these 10 tracks that when this
album stops, the
silence seems almost deafening.
