What we say about Gnod LP 01, by Gnod

This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

After being substituted something less than memorable for a remarkable looking LP by Gnod, I now find myself trawling the interweb for further info on this 9 piece Mancunian collective. Seems they've a sense of humour what with members named Mary Ploppins & Neil the Fish. The first track i'm playing has this kind of space rock pulse thang happening that starts to suffer some kind of reality meltdown halfway in as alternative universes are dragged kicking and screaming across the surface of the track like cosmic sheet metal. I'm reminded of a milder take on Dalek's legendary wall of sound and Brett can hear Psychic Ills drugged-out motorik sludge in there. More hypnotic shamanic shenanigans on the next track with a tough tribal drum rythym, a muscular, cyclic bass line & myriad jungle fevered dubby effects. It's truly absorbing stuff that gets your head partying in no time. This record just proves why i've a problem with bands such as Wooden Shjips as although it's mining from familiar musical territory, there's a freshness, strangeness & vitality to the sounds. Brett mentions David Thomas/Pere Ubu, I say early 23 Skidoo, either way it's excellent. Phil says Hawkwind but he's about 58 years old or something. Flip over for an epic dose of tropical industrialisms, meditative percussion, slightly blurred eastern sounding guitar & Future Days era Can style Kraut pastoralism. A truly rewarding slab 'o wax is 'Gnod LP 01'

"...a melting pot of free tribal drumming, Hawkwind swirl, Krautrock pulse and Sun Ra scrunge, Gnod are less of a band and more of a cosmic collective.. heavily percussive and bass led, covered in reverb and delayed guitars.. everything working in unison towards a climactic explosion, or shimmering off into the distance.."
- Paul Robertson, Bad Acid (Tab 7)


"... a true cosmic phenomenon, with a light show to match their psychoactive output... Two lengthy excursions that grew organically… a twinkle of hand bells that were synth piloted into guitar riffs that literally lit runways straight into your brain... The last track rippling with a seriously insistent riff that the keyboards feed upon in jutting jigsaws... all rivers have their source… vocals slurring the mixture in mellifluous shadowing or delayed to fuck on an infinite broken mirror, peaks of feedback angling across in random pirouettes, the drums nail-gunning that fluid duvet down in a steady soak of adrenalin... If you ever get the chance to see them… take it..."
- Cloudboy, Rottenmeats


"You're never quite sure what you're going to get with GNOD, apart from the fact it probably won't be the same thing as last time you saw them, whenever that was. There'll be a different number of people on stage as this wayward collective take their cues, both musically and spiritually, from the free-range outer edges of Krautrock and spacerock. Within minutes they absorb you, if you let them, into some strange transcendental state best described as a reasonable simulation of the effects of mild hallucinogens. Tonight's presumably semi-improvised trip involves a first track that's fully 18 minutes long, what appears to be some onstage disagreements between members, and some wild and carefree dreadlock-swinging dancing down the front. You get the feeling they could have gone on for considerably longer if it weren't for WGF's promoter eventually reeling them in to a close in the hope of getting the headliners on sometime the same day.."
- Cath Aubergine, Manchester Music


"..brilliantly unhinged.."
- Marc Rowlands, The Guardian
