The Cranium

New Music For a New Kitchen

Slowdime/Dischord

Disturbing. I'm not sure what the Cranium intends to cook in this new kitchen of theirs, but if I were you, I wouldn't ask about the

   ingredients. Sharply rhythmic (think of a mix between the Dischord "sound" and free jazz) and often discordant, the Cranium tackle several musical and philosophical issues that not everyone will want to deal with. Hypnotic and dangerous.
