Atomizer is a wailing behemoth of assaultive Roland beats, Steve Albini and Santiago Durango's clanging and whirring guitars, and new member Dave Riley's lumberjack bass. Their musical invention went a couple steps further, most obviously on the warped-beyond-recognition guitars of 'Passing Complexion' and 'Kerosene.'

The latter is undeniably Big Black's brightest / bleakest moment, an epically roaming track that features an instantly memorable guitar intro, completely incapable of being accurately described by vocal imitation or physical gesture.

Released: March 2023
Cat: TG93LP

Beyond what you can even imagine

Simply beyond expectations then and now. Utterly compelling, relentless, sometimes claustrophobic, occasionally dissonant (compared to much popular music), yet chock full of hooks. Everyone needs to hear this. When you have I doubt it will ever entirely leave you. Somehow it also seems more relevant or apt for the times than it ever did. Pure genius art.
