Album Description"Splintered, jumpy, incessantly quick-changing noise-hardcore." -- New York Times Sounds documents the improvisational side of XBXRX. Over the past decade, the band has built a reputation for singularly high-energy live performances and a commitment to pushing the limits of rock music forms, and Sounds is the next step in this progression. Through the years, improvisation has been a major part of the XBXRX live show, but it has remained unrecorded until now. This album features seven improvisations of distinctive character and mood, ranging from frenzied storms of white noise to pointillist chamber music. XBXRX has constantly toured the US since 1999, and tours are scheduled through 2007. The band has garnered a strong profile in recent years through its association with Polyvinyl Records, who released the acclaimed albums Sixth In Sixes (2005) and Wars (2007). Sounds will definitely appeal to those attracted to the experimental aspects of XBXRX, and reconfirms the band's long-running solidarity with the noise scene. Also available in a limited edition LP pressed in an edition of 500 copies with 100 on yellow vinyl and 100 on green vinyl.
