The thing about “noise” is: in order for it to be “noisy,” you kinda have to keep making it. Joe DeNardo and Kevin Doria, the Olympia-based duo who unleashed eight albums’ worth of churning, sonic flotsam earlier in the 200’s, have emitted not so much as a sawtooth-wave bleep for the last six years. Now, I’m no poet or anything here, but… I dare say that the project’s “silence” has been… “deafening” to… fans of the project… “metaphorically-speaking.” Does that make sense?

Well, whatever. Never mind! Cuz, either way: that silence? Broken. As in: totes broken. As in: yeah, the boys are back in noise-town on March 10 with a new album, titled Disorder. And even though it’s been a little while, the album is being called not so much as a “return to form” as an intense and submersive “refinement of Growing’s evolving sonic palette, employing dissonance as liberally as harmony, delivering the listener’s ear to a rather unsettling ‘comfort zone.’”

So, what took them so long to get on with the holy work of unsettling all of our comfort zones? Well, when asked, DeNardo was all like: “We never ‘stopped’ doing Growing, it’s just that it was tough living on two different coasts. We work kinda slow so I think it just took us a while to adjust to how to make it work with the distances.” So, in other words: shut up and just be glad there’ll soon be some new drone-y goodness in the world.

Speaking of which, Disorder will see release as an “extremely limited,” “heavy duty virgin vinyl” edition of 250 copies on Important Records, so you may wanna just scootch over there and pre-order it, just as soon as you’re done reacquainting yourself with the sweet, sweet doom & dread that 17 minutes worth of Growing’s slowly unfurling drones is capable of inspiring.
