Dark Meat

Truce Opium

Release Date: October 20, 2009
Label: Emergency Umbrella

Abstract

There are many editions of the Athens, Ga.-based collective Dark Meat, one of which expands to Dark Meat Vomit Lasers Family Band, an assemblage of 18 different musicians that includes members of Gnarls Barkley and Of Montreal. For the band's second album, Truce Opium, Dark Meat has trimmed itself down to half the members, switched labels, and produced a psych-rock album that combines the group’s love of the Velvet Underground, MC5, and Crazy Horse with Eastern acoustic instruments, group chants, and throat singing. Looks like they had to lose nine people just to fit the sitar in the tour van.
