The Answer to Thanksgiving Noise is....

...more noise, in the form of the Russian Circles latest album Geneva.  Whether your fantasy football team lost or your lover is a pillow, this shit is therapeutic.  Sometimes the low-end rumble and 3-4 drum beats sound like a bad dream slowly coming true, but wait it out and there are moments of euphoric emotional beatdown that beg your attention.  Never before has this Chicago trio been more concise or attack minded, and I like it.  Imagine Sigur Ros getting beat up by a glacier over a slice of Chicago deep dish.  Atmospheric grieving at its solemn metal best.



See Russian Circles on tour now.  I am, bitches.
