Osaka doom witch duo drop one of the most surprising tracks from their new album »In A Bizarre Dream«. Their name (as they’ve pointed out) is a mix of Black Sabbath and Stereolab, two of their favourite bands. If you want to hear how these two differing elements might sound together, this is it. Featuring a lead vocal from Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab no less. Enjoy.

BlackLab are back. The self-proclaimed ‘Doom witch duo from Osaka’ drop their third album »In A Bizarre Dream« which ups the ante considerably from their previous records, to let rip and define what BlackLab are about.

The combined talents of Jun Morino on production and Wayne Adams (Big Lad, Green Lung, Pet Brick, John, Cold In Berlin) on the mix have conspired to produce a towering beast of a record. A real step forward for the ‘Doom Witch Duo’.

The drums have a humungous ‘Fugazi’ like welly, and the guitars are a boiling maelstrom of fuzz dense riffola and warped psychedelics, with added synth. Yuko’s throat shredding snarls are as mean as a pissed off Satan, and melodious, often within the same song. This is doom meets hardcore punk, hooky melodies, and killer riffs, all cranked up to the max. Plus there’s a real surprise in there with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab contributing lead vocals on one track.

Japan has always had a special take on ‘noise’ and ‘heavy’ and with »In A Bizarre Dream« BlackLab add their own spin to that tradition.
