Chicago Noise: Blacker Face – “Back To Black”
Blacker Face
“Back To Black”
Think Piece
This is some of the best No Wave music I’ve heard since DNA, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and MARS. I love this band. They can go from pure noise to crooning beautifully and back again while never missing a beat. Coming from Chicago and comprised of Isaac Nicholas – Guitar, background vocals, Jolene W/E – Lead vocals, Louis N. Clark – Synths, piano, background vocals, Noah Jones – Percussion, background vocals, and pt Bell – Bass guitar, vocals in a liminal space between background and lead, this band is full of surprises. Imagine if Lydia Lunch had a great voice, you would get Blacker Face. Jolene W/E has an amazing voice, and the rest of the band just get together to keep the music going. This is a great album. I recommend you to check out their whole discography. Jewels every one of them.
