Background Check:
There’s something distinctly refreshing about an album packed tight with gritty and echoing lo-fi distortin. In an sea of overly mixed pop perfection, it’s become common place for a band to mark their sophmore release with the complete sterilization of their sound. Thankfully, the noise rock duo No Age, aren’t a band who merely follows the crowd.
Emerging from the independant scene centered around the all ages venue The Smell in L.A., No Age released several E.P.’s before signing with Fat Cat records for their career propelling debut Weirdo Rippers. With only Dean Spunt on drums and Randy Randall on guitars and vocals, word of the talented duo spread quickly, backed by notable fanfare from Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood & Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox.
In 2008 No Age returned with their highly anticipated follow up Nouns released on Sub Pop records. While expanding their sound into a slightly more pop oriented direction on their latest, No Age have managed to retain the initial energy and lo-fi feel that has clearly defined them since their DIY beginning. While new influences develop and bands inevitably mature theres no doubt that for No Age, the future is certainly bright.
