Lightning Bolt
Earthly Delights
(Load Records)
|
Lightning Bolt is, hands down, the king of two-piece rock bands and calling what they have a “full sound” is a complete understatement. On a casual listen these two are just a full-on barrage of delayed vocals and yelps, nonstop drumming, and driving bass, but on closer listen it becomes apparent that the two are dialed into a shared brain of incredibly controlled chaos. Beautiful melodies with mind blowing progressions and change-ups.
