Synopsis

Product Description

8 songs that take apart rock music atom by atom, leaving only a skeleton of sound. Reference weirdo deconstructo outfits like Einsturzende Neubauten (mid-period), Black Dice & Mainliner. The sound between the guitar strings, inside the bass amp & within a drum stick. If punk rock used to mean fucking shit up & doing it yer own way, then this is a mile high middle finger facing the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

CD Reviews

Everything in the red

daniel | Afrika! Not really though. | 06/28/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Who's playing what on this record is hard to figure out. All instruments are buried in the red, often making Sighting's music more vicious white noise than anything else. They straddle the line between arbitrary noise and music, but they know what they're doing, and keep the results captivating. Theirs is the sound of instruments coming together and blurring the lines between each other to create something huge. Their jams sound less like a rock band and more like godzilla screaming on a tear through town."
