New Black Dice Video - "Glazin"
We gave you the "Glazin," in pure audio form a couple months ago. Black Dice have always tapped into the visual (remember they came out of the Rhode Island School Of Design way back when), so it was only a matter of time before an appropriately warped and jubilant video emerged. When posting "Glazin," I called it "an excellent piece of shiny psychedelia" and noted that "If they gave it a video in the vein of 'Smiling Off,' it would induce twice as many seizures." While there are general similarities, the flickers are a bit smoother (and more black and white) this time, so no need for a warning. Then again, please do watch out for the b&w to color transition (see above thumbnail) toward the end. Intense.

Score = -4
One thing I love about stereogum is its members' willingness to say whatever they feel and the wide variety of responses that happen. There is no one band, song or album that will be enjoyed by everyone. But to say that Black Dice is the worst band to exist? I'm afraid you are unaware of the incredible talent and creativity the band possesses.
Score = -3
I'm seeing them with Animal Collective. ;D

Score = -3
this is pretty awful
no more, please
Score = 5
Is this worse than Excepter? Possibly.
Excuse the first guy for his hyperbole. It's tuneless hipster twiddling for people who would praise the sound of water running through a storm drain if it was given an imaginary band name like "Magic Spire" and was pressed by Paw Tracks and given the thumbs up by Panda.
There's nothing redeemable about this.
Score = 1
this band fucking sucks so much its ridiculous
Score = 0
