Black Dice still belong in the DIY basement space but with Load Blown they’ve made their most accessible album yet.
-
For those looking for a bit of an adventure, this new music is surprisingly accessible.
-
Load Blown is stunning. It engulfs. While sacrificing little if anything to compositional templates, the record is remarkable listenable.
-
Load Blown does more than enough to keep "very" and "awfully," respectively, in the mix.
-
Load Blown is damaged as a whole, even despite its overwhelming internal coherence that makes for few surprises along the way.
