Having established themselves among Noise-rock royalty, Lightning Bolt finished a long hiatus with the release of their fifth album. “Earthly Delights” didn’t alter the winning formula of past highlights like “Hypermagic Mountain”. The duo from Providence has preserved all the raw aggression in their sonic distortions and manic drumming. But even now, when the shocking value has faded a bit as we’ve grown accustomed to similar offerings; it was still one of the most challenging propositions we’ve heard all year.

Released on Load. Some tracks at Myspace.
