Combining such ludicrous and disparate sonic obsessions as Albert Ayler, Neil Young and Neu!, Athens Georgia’s Dark Meat radiates a sound as layered, multivariable and insane as its improbable membership roll. The band’s hometown scene, in fact, makes key attitudinal contributions to its expansive sonic tumult: Dark Meat inherits much from the halcyon days of Elephant 6 psychedelia. Not only has the band contained, at times, several key E6-ers, they’ve also taken big cues in musical methodology: the band operates as a creative collective, with members coming and going, crossing over from other projects and other locales to contribute a dense air of aesthetic diversity that a homogenized, more self-contained band would sorely lack.
