Sunn O))) announces Varsity Theater date amongst brief Midwest tour

sunn-o-monoliths-dimensions

Perfect. With a score of 10/10 that’s essentially what Drowned in Sound has called Sunn O)))’s recent release Monoliths & Dimensions.

For the internet-damaged and terminally short of attention to the myopically conservative, to those who choose music merely as a lifestyle accessory, this album will upset, confuse or bore. For anyone interested in music that works both as art and an intensely new exciting experience – this is easily the best album that has come out this year.

Pitchfork echoes the praise,

Per Sunn O)))’s long-standing dogma, ‘Maximum volume [still] yields maximum results.’ But this time, there’s enough musical range and temperance to usher even the most resolute naysayer into this intricate wonderland.

Will the band’s live show retain that same essence of perfection? Who knows… But for fans of the band in the Midwest, good news has arrived as Sunn O))) has announced a limited eight-date stint in the region. Salt Lake City’s Eagle Twin will open for the band throughout the tour. (via Mind Inversion)
