Album Reviews
Some music is too big to be recorded in a studio. For eadrum, the epic first half of their latest album, Japanese head cases the Boredoms not only set up and played their drum kits on a beach, they put a mike in the water to capture the reverberations below sea level. The result is genuinely oceanic: roaring tides of drum-army percussion, sun showers of grand piano, wordless female vocals that hover over the tumult like day-glo sea birds. "House of Sun" is a different infinity: twenty minutes of sitar-orchestra drone and dancing-in-circles guitars that bring to mind the Grateful Dead's long, free flights through "Dark Star," wrapped in early morning light.
