Download the Parts & Labor podcast (from SoundOpinions.org)

Brooklyn’s “noise rockers” Parts & Labor play the loudest show Chicago Public Radio has ever hosted at their studios. First segment features analysis of R. Kelly’s sexual content. Don’t skip it if you want to hear him sing about how he’s a sexasaurus. Segment two includes Parts & Labor interview and in-studio performance. They talk about their own label, crazy leaving-New-York stories, their unique instrumentation and other things. The trio will also be playing a Brooklyn show on June 22nd at Above the Auto Parts Store (600 Bushwick Ave, Brooklyn, NY). Playing with them are: Matt & Kim, Ponytail, Deathset and Golden Error.

This is the kind of track for which I reserve the term infectious. Total supernova. Folks are calling Parts & Labor Brooklyn’s noise punks, a great thing to be called. Following up to 2006’s Stay Afraid, Jagjaguwar/Brah will release Mapmaker on May 22. Currently on North American tour but we’ve already missed Brooklyn.
