(Alternative, Experimental, Noise Rock) Talk Normal - Sunshine - 2012, MP3, 320 kbps

No wave-inspired noise-rock duo Talk Normal consists of drummer/vocalist Andrya Ambro and guitarist/vocalist Sarah Register. The pair joined forces in 2007 and began issuing CD-Rs of music that carried on the tradition of angular, cerebrally noisy acts ranging from Ut, DNA, Sonic Youth, and Teenage Jesus & the Jerks to Magik Markers and Sightings. Sightings‘ bassist Richard Hoffman appeared on Talk Normal’s first official release, the 2008 EP Secret Cog. The following year their full- length debut, Sugarland, arrived.
On Talk Normal’s sophomore LP Sunshine, the Brooklyn duo unveils songs that sparkle with melody and dissonance. Jarring rhythms and feedback-drenched guitar tones lace Sunshine’s nine surprisingly songful tunes, creating a sound informed by their predecessors yet strikingly new. Featuring Sarah Register’s flowing, nearly drony riffs and Andrya Ambro’s finely choreographed beats, the end result is a natural sonic cohesion. It may not be the sunshine you re used to … but rays within which you’ll want to bask.
