Not From There - Sand From Seven | 90s Album Review

Jagged, urgent, experimental - the 1998 album Sand On Seven by Not From There is an inventive debut that effectively blends post-punk, slowcore, and noise rock. The Australian trio incorporate German-language vocals on several tracks, giving the album an otherworldly edge to pair with angular guitars, throbbing basslines, and restless rhythms giving 90s indie rock a uniquely disorienting twist. Songs move between abrasive noise and moody atmosphere, reflecting both tension and restraint. Though it didn’t reach massive commercial heights, Sand On Seven became a cult favorite in alternative circles and won the ARIA Award for Best Alternative Release in 1999.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Sich Öffnen 10:57 - Hurricane Charlie 14:57 - Neurons 16:57 - Juanita's Cocktail Party 19:52 - The Orb of Discomfort 26:18 - Abgedroschen Outro - What Is Better Now   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
