CLEAR

Michael Mueller Most of this album is pretty obnoxious. But the little bits that aren't are the cracks where the light gets in.

The song deliberately fail to coalesce, moving from dark, noise-flecked drone to extreme math-punk with the flick of a switch.

And yet, the album makes sense. It's a statement of extremes, of aural and cognitive dissonance.

This is difficult listening of a sort, but it's cathartic, liberating, and bizarrely, in the end, comforting.

Give it a whirl. Favorite track: MICROWAVE.

about

Plyers are a self-described ‘outsider noise’ outfit that are equal parts amp and analogue worship.
Trying to locate the centre of Melbourne trio’s sound is no easy task. ‘Clear’ oscillates wildly between gritty post-punk, grinding noise, warbling synth drones and screeching feedback.
They seem inspired in-part by the menace and energy of groups like Daughters, Lightning Bolt and NoMeansNo, but also eager to push beyond the narrow confines of simplistic genre labels. This makes their music so unpredictable and captivating.
