Armed with little more than a massively fuzzed-up guitar and ferociously pounded drum kit, No Age's sloppy, restless sound is true art-punk bliss. Echoing the primitivist minimalism of Beat Happening and the rough-around-the-edges aesthetic of early '80s punk, guitarist Randy Randall and singer/drummer Dean Spunt submerge pretty melodies in layers of distortion, reverb, and tom-work, while the LA duo's much-blogged-about live performances (which even earned it an adoring nod in The New Yorker) crash and burn just as often as they achieve poignant pop perfection. Openers (and Smell alums) Mika Miko evoke the Sloppy Joe-brand punk of Redd Kross and the Bags in their catchy two-minute thrash sessions.
