New York trio Parts & Labor turned
Groundswell (JMZ, 2003) into an epic feast of post-rock and noise-rock
digressions, mostly highlighted by the electronic noises of Dan Friel.
After Rise Rise Rise (Narnack, 2003), a split with Tyondai Braxton,
containing seven new songs, and the six-song EP Escapers One (Broklyn Beats, 2006),
the second album, Stay Afraid (2006), the first one featuring
drummer Chris Weingarten, invested more in the melodies without
sacrificing the noise.
That balance yielded a more accessible sound on
Mapmaker (Jagjaguwar, 2007), featuring the
explosive Fractured Skies and the
poppy Visions of Repair and Brighter Days,
but also the deranged
Ghosts Will Burn and
The Gold We're Digging.
The mini-album Escapers Two (Ace Fu, 2008) contained
51 songs in under 30 minutes.
Relegating the noise to the background,
Receivers (2008),
the first album with new drummer Joe Wong and guitarist Sarah Lipstate,
boasted more organic and more elegant constructs that revisited aesthetic
principles of avantgarde rock in a less traumatic manner,
from new wave to slocore
from the
mounrful The Ceasing Now and the rousing Satellites.
