Clearly, a fascination with pop culture and over-consumption still grips Black Dice, and their fifth full-length album pieces together sounds from radio, TV, the internet, and adds in a splash of good ol’ fashioned moans and whispers set against the backdrop of a rattling kitchen set smack dab in Times Square.

The first single off Repo, ‘Glazin,’ is one of the more melodic tracks in the group’s history, playing with tropic’lia and dub. ‘Urban Super Mist’ is a bluesy trip into outer space’banjos, glitches, and all. But honestly, this album is not for the casual listener. Repo demands your full attention. Songs like ‘Whirligig’ are the musical equivalent of an abstract art installation, prompting its audience to sit and ponder in an attempt to make sense of it all. Black Dice continues to produce highly interesting music, no doubt, but be warned that it’s not for the faint of heart or imagination.
