Repo is the fifth album to come from this incredibly unique band. Black Dice are a band that need time, a bit of effort on the listeners part just to get your head around the diversities of their sound. Recorded in Brooklyn's Rare Book Room, Repo could very well be their best album to date, with the band taking a seemingly more DIY approach to the production of this album. I just find it crazy that amongst all the bizarre samples, glitches and loops there is still that little pop hook in almost each track which really draws you in. After starting out as an early eighties inspired thrash and noise trio, their sound now beckons more minimal, electronic, psychedelic and hip hop. Amongst all of this they also mix in sounds and images from the radio, tv and internet, for example I had to play back one track to hear a remixing of the Pingu soundtrack.
Black Dice just seem to be doing things differently to anyone else and it works.
Highlights are 'Glazin' and Earnings Plus Interest' played loud.
