Eloe Omoe - Marauders

Starting off this week is the debut full-length Marauders from the Boston, Massachusetts duo of Eloe Omoe, which is comprised of Sam Rowell (bass) and Tim Leanse (drums). On their album they rattle off six tracks of complete rumbling destruction that if played live is sure to have clubs/venues busting out plenty of mops to clean up the mess afterwards. Rowell experiments with mega bass distortion while leaving drummer Leanse to go completely wild, which lends it to be somewhat comparable to the improvisational ideas of free-form jazz, but you know, with ear splitting feedback.

Eloe Omoe’s sound is one that I am naturally drawn in by. Containing a super sludgy low end along with screeching amounts of feedback, what’s not to like about that? However, what I really enjoy about this and music that is very similar to it, despite being much too rare to find, is that it’s completely unrestrained and is truly free-form. Sure, it’s noise…however there is noticeable interplay between the two musicians that obviously has taken time to establish. That’s quite impressive on its own. For those looking for something that operates on pure raw aggression and you can wrap your mind around through a few listens, then I highly suggest checking out Marauders.
