Indian Jewelry - Invasive Exotics...

I doubt there is any real way to describe a group like Indian Jewelry, whom has undoubtedly set out to push any and all musical boundaries by completely ignoring any idea of traditional song structure on Invasive Exotics. Really, songs are nothing more than a loose guideline for the group. The band consists of key members Tex Kerschen, Erika Thrasher, and Rodney Rodriguez however it is expanded by possibly four or five times that amount throughout the duration of a tour. The songs from there are then altered and expanded upon as well as the different group members come and go. The songs you hear on record may be the only way you ever hear that song played, as it most likely won’t be duplicated in any way when performing live.

Indian Jewelry’s sound is a constant dissonant droning that is the culmination of synthesizers, a heavy dose of percussion, guitars, and whatever else the band can get its hands on. It’s either the soundtrack for the insane or the type of music that you would be greeted with upon your arrival to hell. Although it may be quite noisy at first, there is something strangely hypnotic about it that after awhile you don’t even realize that you’ve spent the past five or six minutes trying to figure out what’s going on. Actually, I just spent the past 45 minutes doing that and I plan on doing it again.
