Parts & Labor

With the experiences of nearly ten years as a band and two years of vigorous writing and demoing, Dan Friel (vocals, electronics), BJ Warshaw (vocals, bass) und drummer Joe Wong are back with a new record in 2011. Whereas their last release, 2008's acclaimed "Receivers", saw Parts & Labor blasting off in all directions and creating collage art from hundreds of fancurated samples, their fifth album "Constant Future" finds them crashing back to earth, focusing pointedly on what they do best: unique, electronic landscapes melded with buzzing, anthemic hooks. With the help of Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mogwai, Sleater-Kinney, MGMT), who co-produced and mixed the album at his Tarbox Road Studios in Casadega, NY, their futuristic sound was ultimately transformed into something massive, beaming, downright nuclear, comprising reminiscences of musical idols like Sonic Youth, Lungfish, Fugazi and Wire, as well as synthesized keyboard riffs, hypnotic percussions and crackling drone-monsters. The Brooklyn noisepunk outfit, which already toured with bands like Clinic, Islands, Sonic Boom, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Spank Rock, An Albatross, Oneida, Hidden Cameras, Wooden Wand und Matt & Kim, will, of course, present its newest work on an extensive tour, following-up the release in March 2011 on JAGJAGUWAR, to unfurl their dense soundscapes on stage.
