No Age — Losing Feeling

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) October 9, 2009 11:58 am
It always felt like No Age had a lot more depth to their lo-fi noise than most of their shitgazing peers. As with last year's fabulous Nouns, the Los Angeles-based duo continue to amaze with this new EP, showcasing a willingness to experiment alongside their emerging talent as songwriters. Losing Feeling finds the pair embracing (relatively)...

No Age @ NXNE 2009

in
By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) June 20, 2009 1:23 pm
Background/ Composition: This Pitchfork-approved Los Angeles duo are comprised of drummer/singer Dean Allen Spunt and guitarist Randy Randall (best name ever). Their art-punk tunes are fast, loud and densely layered with noisy tape loops, which results in a chaotic live show complete with a violent mosh pit and stage-climbing antics. Grade: 90...

No Age Sweat A Workout

in
By Jessica Lewis (CHARTattack) July 17, 2008 11:04 am
It was a terrible night to forget earplugs. This show was packed with three of the loudest, latest buzz bands, and I didn't hear a word the entire night. Focused on the music and the swing of things, I noticed the night not only became a workout, but it also hit the high expectations that Toronto had for a slew of American bands who don't play...

No Age — Nouns

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 6, 2008 9:34 am
Last year's Weirdo Rippers, a FatCat compilation of No Age's EPs, hinted at the possibility that having two people in your band might not mean your music has limitations (see: nearly every two-piece on Earth). Nouns only proves the theory, since it's a massive leap forward for Randy Randall and Dean Spunt. The songs here better employ distortion...

Deerhoof Bring Dazzling Lights

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) March 7, 2008 12:30 pm
Before we begin, here are three facts about my relationship with Deerhoof. 1. The first time I heard the band was when an uber-fan played Milk Man to a room full of hipsters and a) I was immediately ashamed I was the only person in the room who didn't know the band, which was compounded by the fact that b) I fell in love with them from the first...

Feeling sluggish this morning? Same. But we've put together a little pick-me-up for you. Today we salute those artists who can make something beautiful out of dirty, messy noise. Noisy music has a sort of inherit spirituality: While angels up in heaven are plucking away at their tiny angel harps, us miserable humans are stuck on Earth, maxing out...

Year-end lists are always fun to read, but I find can be a total pain to make. Why, you ask? I'm indecisive as all hell. So after I racked my brains and finally handed in my list, there were some things that should've been on there that there just wasn't room for. Also, hindsight can be a real bitch, and when I listened more intently to some...

No Age: Minimalist Maximalists

The first question that comes to mind with No Age's sophomore release, Nouns, is "How in the world could two people make so much noise?" The Los Angeles group's feedback-drenched guitar- and sample-based punk is actually a longtime work in progress from guitarist Randy Randall. "I grew up in the suburbs of southern California...
