If you want to go weird, there is no band finer than Black Dice. It's been like that for a decade, and if the material on their new album Mr. Impossible is any indication, it'll be like that for another one. The first taste is the irresistible "Pigs." It's a meticulously-formed, vacuum-wrapped sludge of roadhouse blues, jittery dance music, punk snarl and sonic wackiness. No, they didn't go pop, but this is Black Dice cut with an exacto knife – so pointed, calculated and worked-over that it's experimental music given the proper time to marinate and become great.
