Late NY noise merchants Laddio Bolocko unearth live archives via No Quarter

As a general rule, there can never be too much instrumental noise music in the world. It’s like there’s some black hole out of which our collective desire for the strange, beautiful, and often damaging strain of music falls, making us all the richer for it.

To that end, the late-90s New York noise collective Laddio Bolocko, though their time may have been brief, have managed to dig up some rare and live material for our aural pleasure. The group, whose members went on to play in venerable acts like Psychic Paramount and The Mars Volta, had previously reissued all of their studio efforts with No Quarter back in 2003, but now the label is dumping a treasure trove of esoteric Laddio Bolocko jams.

Spread out over two discs, Live and Unreleased 1997 - 2000 features live sets from New York to Slovenia and captures the group’s terrifying live shows.

No Quarter will unleash the Laddio Bolocko beast December 4, but you can pre-order the offerings now or sample 17 minute of their live antics below.
