How can you describe that transcendent, sweaty, intense wave that sweeps you away as a song fires on all cylinders, keeping your undivided attention, moving beyond music into pure experience. This sprawling LP from Brighton UK&#8217;s Kellar, the first of 3 releases so far this year including March&#8217;s <em>Smokescreen<\/em> EP and the upcoming August release <em>Cell Divides, <\/em>is the definition of great improv noise rock. While the concept of improv noise rock is rightfully suspect \u2014 most groups of this ilk end up being little more than an exercise in endurance \u2014 Kellar demonstrates an uncanny knack for whipping up a magical racket with enough texture and volume to bloom new growth from the seeds planted by groups like\u00a0<strong>Sonic Youth<\/strong> and <strong>Skullflower<\/strong>. The tracks on <em>Beloved Dean of Magic<\/em> are loose and free, unstructured enough to remain fresh after multiple spins, yet driven and forceful enough to demand your attention. It&#8217;s a deliriously stunning debut from one of 2012&#8217;s best new bands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kellar.bandcamp.com\/\">Kellar on Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kellar.bandcamp.com\/album\/beloved-dean-of-magic\">Stream Kellar&#8217;s <em>Beloved Dean of Magic<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beloved Dean of Magic LP Foolproof Projects It&#8217;s difficult to pinpoint what makes some improvisational groups click while others fall flat.
