SPRAIN Vinyl & CDs

Review: LA indie rockers Sprain are the latest fixture of their state's post-rock/noise rock zeitgeist and to celebrate (following their debut), they've now released their second LP, The Lamb As Effigy Or Three Hundred & Fifty XOXOXOs For A Spark Union With My Darling Divine. Adding to the ever-burgeoning sophisti-post-rock landscape of late - which has heard an uptick in spoken word and noise elements - the trio unleash their screamiest, most abyssal vocal and instrumental anti-prayers here, lashing out at God and Man over the course of a gargantuan, eight-track sonic judgment day.
