- The experimental trio, featuring Editions Mego's Peter Rehberg, have a second Blackest Ever Black LP in the works.
Blackest Ever Black have announced a second Shampoo Boy album, Crack, due out on April 6th.
The Vienna-based trio, which features Editions Mego boss Peter Rehberg, Comfortzone's Christina Nemec and Christian Schachinger, debuted back in 2013 with Licht. That album, which also landed on the Berlin imprint, comprised four lengthy instrumental improvisations, while Crack looks to be a little more focused. The band are "leaving behind the post-everything in search of their very own neo-something: a powerful alloy of extreme electroacoustic music, luminous ambience and the mineral fundaments of rock and black metal," according to the label.
This time the record consists of two pieces on the A-side and the three-part "Bruch" suite on the B. Blackest Ever Black claims the latter as "the most potent and pugilistic manifestation of Shampoo Boy's brute psychedelia to date." You can stream opener "Spalt" in its entirety below.
The band will also hold a release party at Berlin's NK on April 23rd, with additional slots for label-mates Tarcar and Silva Kastel.
Tracklist
A1 Spalt
A2 Riss
B1 Bruch I-III
Blackest Ever Black will release Crack on April 6th, 2015.
