Black Dice – Broken Ear Record (DFA, 2005)
Recorded in Australia following the 2004 departure of drummer Hisham Bharoocha, Broken Ear Record marks a pivotal metamorphosis for the Brooklyn-based trio of Eric Copeland, Bjorn Copeland, and Aaron Warren. Shifting away from their noise-rock origins toward a tighter, more deliberate compositional unit, Black Dice embraced a newfound "pop sensibility" that remains as unsettling as it is inventive.
By moving deeper into electronic processes, the band weaves a complex tapestry of Afrobeat-inspired patterns and gnarled, media-collage textures. The result is a bold, experimental album that solidified the group’s reputation as pioneers within the DFA Records roster and the wider underground experimental canon.
Key Highlights:
- Label: DFA Records
- Release Year: 2005
- Transformation: A transition into a trio focusing on electronic-heavy textures, breakbeat rhythms, and shorter, catchier arrangements.
- Context: A standout entry in the band’s discography that furthered their influence on a generation of experimental artists moving away from traditional rock instrumentation.
