Song: "Constant Future"
Artist: Parts & Labor
Album: Constant Future (2011)

I saw Parts & Labor live three and a half years back opening for Battles. From my research I was a little worried Parts & Labor would be "indie", ie. too soft, poetic, or parading to some kindly emotional/feminine ideal for my tastes. While they do have that element, instead the show turned out to be positive - like Battles, they had a heavy drum focus, and I really like that. Though I haven't given them much time since, they've always been in the back of my mind.

I've already given their newest album two full spins (well, it's mp3s, but you know...) so you can guess I like it. If you've never heard Parts & Labor before and you come from a metal/heavy rock background, you may want to sample "The Gold We're Digging" first to get the idea and then come back to "Constant Future", a more "psychedelic"-sounding, ambient in feeling kind of song. After all, Teeth of the Sea will be supporting them live in May.

about

SeeingtheDark.com is a personal music blog sharing heavy rock and metal along with assorted quips. Started in 2007, it has evolved from a song-a-day blog to something more narcisstic and nebulous. Regardless of what I say, I hope you follow the links, listen to the music, and always make up your own mind.

You can send emails to cyberspaceship (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm not a fan of label spam nor do I write professional reviews, so please keep that in mind before sending me anything.
