Dan Raper handed out an 8 to Black Dice’s 2007 Load Blown, a collection of the band’s 12-inchs released during that year on Paw Tracks. About the Animal Collective labelmates he said: “The coalescing of chaos into something approaching the ordered groove of beat-fuelled electronica serves as an appropriate moment for distinction between Black Dice and those other gnarly Brooklynites, Excepter. Whereas the latter have been playing around with basic songform, setting up and undercutting expectation with an academic, over listenability bent, Black Dice’s noisy grooves have a more identifiable emotion beneath the mess and junk.” Black Dice’s new album Repo drops on April 7th and here is the first single.
