Ever hear a record that reminds you of another artist, only better on several levels? Here’s one:
The Artist/Album: Juv, Juv (Miasmah, 2011)
The Record It Reminds Us Of: Sunn O))), Monoliths & Dimensions (Southern Lord, 2009)
The Story Behind the Songs: If you dug the Alice Coltrane-inspired direction of Sunn O)))’s last album but couldn’t stomach Attila Csihar‘s incessant screeching, this long-delayed (the original recordings were cut in 1996-1998 and shelved due to a “personal conflict”) slab of charred drone cuts will warm your cold, black heart. Check out much more from one-half of the Norwegian duo here.
