The reason I like this is because it is smarter than me. I don't comprehend the meter and structure of their music composition and that delights me to no end.
actually, most of their songs have a steady beat, it's just the instruments aren't always playing right ON it. It leaves more space for you to feel it. See "Missouri Twist" from the Sang Phat Editor album. I have to admit, the first years I had that album, i could hardly listen to it. It frustrated me. Then, something clicked, and i couldn't get enough of it. Same thing happened with Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. Now THAT is music that's hard to follow.
absolutely wonderful stuff. Off the beaten track but not over beaten if you know what I mean. subtle, graceful but jarring at the same time. thanks so much for creating this!
Did Albini produce any of their work? I've heard their name referenced so many times, but never heard them until today. Great stuff. I must buy an album.

@MyFairLaser I'm glad that you had mentioned that. I listened for it in this song and was able to comprehend the obtuse rhythm.

You speak so eloquently. I wish I had the wisdom to understand what you are saying. Perhaps I could learn from you.
