[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Pirana - Torche (Meanderthal. Hydrahead Records, 2008)
Considering the difference between a record like this and, say, Converge’s latest album (and his long-ass resume of work), Kurt Ballou may just be one of my favourite producers/engineers. Also this record is sweet, in the sense that it makes me want to take mushrooms and run around in the forest dressed like a big ol’ teddy bear.

Like an acid trip in a heat wave.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Akuma No Uta - Boris (Akuma No Uta. Diwphalanx Records, 2003/ Southern Lord Records 2005)
Boris have the bad luck of being labelled “Hipster Metal” by too many people (in reality not many but any amount is too large of an amount) probably because Pitchfork has accepted them for their ADHD-level of genre bending and their mind-fucking sonic experiments that they call albums. But all together they may not be as stationary as most other bands, Boris are Metal as fuck, and they will crush your skull if you think otherwise.
