DeLaRoche is one person playing electric guitar, drums and bass guitar, and composing and recording/mixing/producing the music. I found this record to be interesting and enjoyable. The guitar is used to produce dissonant chords that make their own kind of sense... they're not as jarringly odd as Zoot "Horn" Rollo comping on Beefheart records or Larry La Londe's strange harmonies in Primus, but they're unusual enough to hold the interest of a weird-music lover such as myself.
The bass lines are very tasty at times, and my favorite moments are when the bass is most prominent.
The songs are all around 2 minutes each, and the sounds remain the same throughout-- very distorted guitar, bass guitar and drums. The production is good, everything is mixed well and clearly audible. If you like Slint and Sonic Youth you may want to give this a spin. Post-rock, indie-rock, noise-rock could all be good descriptors, though it's more dissonant and distorted than noisy. The dissonances make musical sense, not necessarily the usual sense, but not shocking either. It's a comfortable oddness.
I like to listen to music while reading, and for that reason I don't often put on rock... the lyrics interfere. This is instrumental and would be an excellent album for reading, not only for that reason but it's different enough to not be boring but rhythmically steady and not going to jolt you out of concentration.
I like this. I recommend it. It's worth listening to.
