Big Black – Atomizer (1986)

February 8, 2020

I love Big Black, but for some reason I never have them in my rotation all that often. A colleague at my previous job swore down that Atomizer was their best album, and I had to admit that I had never heard it, so out I went and got stuck in. I just love those abrasive, hollow walls of guitar noise. It shouldn’t work but it does when you mount layer and layer and layer of that shit all on top of each other. The clanking bass and drum machine spine underneath it all speaks directly to my soul.
