...according to our Dave on Thu 26 Nov, 2009.
The Robedoor 'Raiders' LP is pretty bleak. It has 4 songs on it and they all seem preoccupied with death or suffering of some description. The productions pretty sweet though… A multi textured affair with enough going on to keep you interested. The covers well death rock too; a kind of black and white blurred shot of the band who look like badasses. Its on Not Not Fun Records... I had fun listening to it....Following their 2008 East Coast tour with Woods and Pocahaunted the Robedoor agenda has mainly been: hibernating in the City Terrace zone above east LA, adding a drummer/modular synth dealer, and letting the smoke rise. Raiders is the first RBDR LP since 2008 s Endlessly Blazing and is the result of almost six months of slow-burn transformative tape machine meditation helmed by Mr. Ged Gengras. Bummed guitars, loner drone tones, low caverns of reverbed drums and rumble, echo dislocation, and dead voices cascade down into the isolated highways. Song modes are carved out and then left to rot. Features early trio live set staples like Indo Shadow and The Downcast Eye. You can t stick your hand in the same black river twice. Change or be changed. LPs in jackets with cover photo by Caitlin C. Mitchell. Edition of 500
