Sonic Taboo

CAPTURED LIVE! VOL I IS THE LATEST RELEASE FROM SONIC TABOO — A RAW, HIGH-VOLTAGE DOCUMENT OF A BAND FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS. RECORDED LIVE AT HESHER STUDIOS IN NEW YORK CITY, THIS ALBUM CAPTURES THE BAND’S NEW FORMATION AT ITS TIGHTEST AND FIERCEST, LED BY POWERHOUSE DRUMMER DYLAN LAPPIN, WHOSE ARRIVAL BRINGS A NEW LEVEL OF URGENCY AND DRIVE TO THE GROUP’S SOUND.

THE RECORD FEATURES 12 TRACKS IN TOTAL — 4 BRAND-NEW SONGS AND 8 CUTS FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES, ALL PERFORMED LIVE WITH NO OVERDUBS. IT’S AN HONEST, UNFILTERED PORTRAYAL OF THE BAND IN THEIR ELEMENT: LOUD, RELENTLESS, AND ROOTED IN THE CORE VALUES OF ROCK & ROLL. THERE’S NO STUDIO GLOSS HERE — JUST ENERGY, CHEMISTRY, AND THE GRIT OF REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE.

CAPTURED LIVE! VOL I WAS MIXED AND MASTERED BY ROBIN BUYER.

-IF YOU’VE BEEN RIDING WITH US, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. IF YOU’RE NEW — BUCKLE UP! THIS WILL BE LOUDER, LEANER, AND MORE ALIVE THAN EVER.

‘’WHO DOESN'T LOVE SOME IMMERSIVE INSTRUMENTAL HEAVY PSYCH!? KILLER RIFFS FOR DAYS; THOUGHTFUL DRUMMING; HULKING, THICK PUNCHY PRODUCTION; AND A FOCUS ON COMPELLING MUSICAL NARRATIVES OVER SELF-INDULGENT JAMS; AND NO LYRICS TO GET IN THE WAY OF THE JOURNEY. THE OCCASIONAL MOODIER MOMENTS ADD THE PERFECT DYNAMICS TO ROUND OUT THIS GREAT LITTLE RECORD. I JUST LOVE THIS BLUE PRESSING AND RAD ART AS WELL."
