TALK NORMAL – SUGARLAND

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
2009, Rare Book Room
01. Hot Song; 02. In a Strangeland; 03. Bold Face; 04. Mosquito; 05. Transmission Lost; 06. River’s Edge; 07. In Every Dream Home a Heartache; 08. Uniforms; 09. Warrior; 10. Outside

Sugarland is the debut full length by Talk Normal, the Brooklyn duo comprised of Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro, out today on Rare Book Room. The minimalist noise they create comes from using a steel drum, guitar and prepared drums.
They’ve played shows with Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Sightings, Pterodactyl and the likes, which to an extent is also indicative of the sound they cultivate. “Sugarland represents material spanning a broad time frame, including a few songs that were pre-Secret Cog. But the majority of it is more recent, from the past year-ish, that we’ve been performing live.” [MORE] There’s also a cover of Roxy Music’s In Every Dream Home a Heartache (!).

TALK NORMAL – SECRET COG EP

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

2009, Self-Released

01. Grinnin’ In Your Face; 02. Eureka; 03. Lemonade; 04. 33 (featuring Richard Hoffman); 05. Rest With Me
An all-female noise duo from Brooklyn.
“…Though various sorts of processed sounds work their way in and out of the picture, the band’s aesthetic is built on a basic foundation of guitars, drums and vocals. The duo are clearly working within a dark, neo-now wave framework, yet there‘s some variety, too. They can sound both hyper and dirgey, calling to mind heat-soaked basement shows and cold moldy practice spaces alike.” [MORE]
Also, Marnie Stern named their previous release one of her favourites of 2008. You can order the new EP from their Myspace page.
