Offbeat stoner/hardcore metal band Big Business are now streaming their entire upcoming album, Mind the Drift, along with off-the-wall audio commentary from the band members. The disc, the follow-up to 2007's Here Come the Waterworks, comes out May 12 on Hydra Head. Click "more" to dance to the music.
Mind the Drift with audio commentary
The goofball comments, washes of static, computer voice passages, burps and bubbling bong hits throughout the commentary confirm that Big Business don't take most things too seriously. But, as evidenced by the plundering beats and awe-inspiring riffage, they're dead serious about songwriting. While the tunes on Mind the Drift follow the same chaotic constructs as their first two discs, there's more of an emphasis on guitar, providing more sonic shades for the musicians to trample.
To support Mind the Drift, Big Business will launch a tour with Tweak Bird on April 22 in Dallas. Dates run through June 2 in San Diego.
