But behind the dense sonic curtain of their non-tempo music \u2013 there&#8217;s nothing in the way of a beat to establish a tap-your-foot baseline \u2013 there are clear hints of nuance and sophistication. The avant-garde work of Glenn Branca, with its intentional creation of overtones (i.e. the sonic suggestion of instruments and textures that aren&#8217;t really there) is a clear precedent for the three epic-length works that make up <em>Kannon<\/em>, the group&#8217;s seventh studio album. It&#8217;s malevolent music, to be sure, but sitting at home and absorbing <em>Kannon<\/em> is probably a safer and more rewarding endeavor than subjecting oneself to near-certain ear and\/or nerve damage at a live show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Godspeed You!
