At the forefront of the new wave of noise-rock are the Los Angeles/Yacolt four-piece Black Elk. The ghost of The Jesus Lizard looms large, yet never did David Yow and co sound this ferocious. There’s a whole lot of sonic weirdness going on with Erik Trammell proving himself to be an inventive guitarist who can both bewilder and batter the listener with effects-heavy psychedelic noodlings suddenly exploding into crushing riffs. Factor in vocals bordering on the insane and an intensely tight rhythm section and you have yourself the ingredients of prime 21st Century noise.
