No Age spent much of last year tirelessly touring in support of their debut full length "Weirdo Rippers," a compilation of tracks from previously released EPs. The band is comprised of duo Randy Randall (guitar) and Dean Spunt (drums) and their sound a seamless blend of experimental art-rock and breezy California pop. Aside from putting on deafening live shows the band members also produce visual art (The Smell) and are firmly rooted in the scene in L.A. "Eraser" starts off with jangly guitar layered with a building white noise that ebbs and flows as a tambourine enters in sequence with the rhythm of the guitar. Drums briefly tease before receding and then loudly reintroducing themselves along with vocals. The song succeeds in introducing each of its components momentarily then pulling them back behind a veil and finally (saving their finest vocal melody for last) bringing it all together for a blissful raucous conclusion.If you haven't had the pleasure of checking out their full length debut Weirdo Rippers start with these all-out rockers (Everybody's Down & My Life's Alright Without You)....you will not be let down.
All tracks available on their myspace page.
