No Age: special ambient set live on WFMU
Beloved for their concise blasts of sing-along drum/guitar noise-pop, the duo of Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt decided to try something a little bit different for No Age's first-ever WFMU session. And we're incredibly psyched to debut the L.A. duo's immersive, multi-sectioned, cinematic drone-ambient beast of a piece:
"Local Submissive" isn't a total departure from the No Age we know and love; this is No Age prying open the shoegaze-y layers of noise and timbre that've always been a part of their sound -- ever since their evolution from the weird-punk hardcore band Wives back in 2005. It's about time Dean and Randy expanded their knack for dense soundscape into a new cohesive entity.
Today also marks the release of Everything In Between (Sub Pop), No Age's 3rd full-length. You can stream the whole thing here or after the jump, and -- for those in the Los Angeles area -- there's a release party at Amoeba where Randy & Dean'll be spinning tunes that inspired the album (for a hint at some of their deep influences, they've backed Bob Mould and covered The Nerves' classic "When You Find Out"). Then they'll hang out at The Smell which is the all-ages art space that nurtured No Age and myriad other artists.
Details for all that and more on the No Age blog (poignantly titled "No More R&R"). No Age also run the Post Present Medium label, and they're about to set flight on an epic tour throughout Europe and the US.
