...Surveillance cameras in the blue-collar district of Gungoren show two young men placing two white plastic bags into a garbage bin on a street corner. After the first bomb exploded with deafening reverb, people rushed to the scene; it was then that a second bomb - packed with nails, bits of metal and TNT - went off. The attack killed 17 people and injured...
...violence jumping from dreams to the waking world. “Night of the Lotus Eaters” perverts the myth of a Mediterranean cult of hallucinogen-gorging island dwellers, casting them as post-apocalyptic street hunters; tension winds tight against a sparse arrangement of drum clatter, guitar reverb, and a xylophone that seems to echo from the bottom of a sewer.“We Call Upon the Author” begins a searing second act with a snarling Cave reciting a list of grievances against an ambivalent God.

Bass notes seemingly resonated forever, and higher parts sounded full and organic. Merritt played mostly rhythm on the bouzouki, sharing lead vocals with pianist Claudia Gonson and Shirley Simms, the band’s new singer. Claudia?...

...occasionally made their previous releases seem like vintage tributes. With “Lust, Lust, Lust,” however, Foo and Wagner offer an update on the work of their late heroes. To a greater degree than ever before, the band’s use of noise, reverb, and minimalist production presents the sounds of the ’60s in quality contemporary form. The album’s a logical progression for the band. Their music has been headed this way since they first experimented with static on 2003 track “Noisy Summer...
