Music for exploded minds.

Brooke and I are going to get our marriage license today!

I'll admit that I check Pitchfork every morning. Occasionally, a review will remind me of a band I'm actually interested in! That happened today with their notice for Grindstone, by Norway's Shining.

There's nothing like a blast of totally fucked prog to put a spring in your step. For fans of '70s King Crimson, Bohren und Der Club of Gore and actual Krautrock.

Here are a couple of cuts:

Shining — "Stalemate Longan Runner"

Shining — "Psalm"

The album is no doubt in stock at Pure Pop. If you're all digital, you can also find it at iTunes.
