Spacial Findings 1 – 7
No Idea Records/ Rorschach Records


This is a noisy, intense, intricate, instrumental release. It pounds and dodges and dives and keeps up the momentum the whole time. The are 8 tracks on this release and none of them stop building and pulsing and crashing.
Snacktruck is a band with 2 drummers and a guitarist, and a bass player on this release. The create a huge monstrous cacoughophny that made me turn my CD player down and reminds me of seeing Enemymine or Lightening Bolt live, crazy loud and thumping my whole body in a good way. There are occasional downtempo regrouping moments that remind me of Sweep The Leg Johnny too.
Snacktruck has been called ‘post-metal’ and ‘math-metal’ and the remind me of a heavy prog rock band like Don Cabellero, Trans Am or Russian Circles, but they mix in some Steely Dan and The Who influences, some Mastodon and High on Fire metal and some Man or Astroman fun. Fans of Explosions in the Sky, Mono and Mogwai might also dig them. They have less chill and comtemplate moments and more bash your head into a wall moments, but they play their instruments very well, layer their tracks with precission and deliver a switching and twitching sound that is loud and buzzing.
The sound of Spacial Findings is a bit like a horror movie in outer space, or a Tron on crack- it’s intense, bewildering, befuddling and all encompassing, filled with beauty and anger.
