THRAA

THRAA

“There’s something about drone that seems to really suit duos. Earth, sunn O))), OM, Nadja… The list goes on. And now we can add Thraa to the mighty canon. While you could be fooled into thinking the tracks are meticulously notated compositions of heavy minimalism, their slowly unwinding, Sisyphean meditations are in fact recorded as single-take improvisations. The four pieces here will echo through your bones like the roar of a distant giant in a mythical valley and provide the warmth of a freshly flayed sheep’s skin. When the vocals kick in on the title track, it’s as if Kim Gordon has swapped her designer sparkles for a cockroach-black hoodie and signed to the Southern Lord label.” 
JR Moores, author of Electric Wizards: A Tapestry of Heavy Music, 1968 to the Present
