Our Take

Big Walnuts Yonder, the eponymous debut album from the supergroup comprised of members from seminal indie bands, delivers a dizzying dose of experimental rock that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

The album kicks off with "All Tomorrows", a sprawling track that blends elements of noise rock and prog, setting the tone for the wild ride ahead. The band's ability to seamlessly shift from moments of frenetic energy to brooding introspection is truly impressive, keeping the listener on their toes throughout.

Tracks like "Raise the Drawbridge" and "Ready to Go" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship, with intricate guitar work and off-kilter rhythms that coalesce into something truly special. The album's production, handled by legendary engineer Greg Saunier, is equally impressive, capturing the raw energy of the band's live performances.

But it's not all avant-garde experimentation - tracks like "Sponge Bath" and "I Got Marty Feldman Eyes" offer moments of pure, unadulterated fun, with catchy hooks and infectious grooves that will have you dancing along in no time.

Overall, Big Walnuts Yonder's debut is a triumph of creativity and collaboration, showcasing the power of four musical minds coming together in perfect harmony. It may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a journey well worth embarking on. High praise indeed for this genre-bending masterpiece.

About the artist

Big Walnuts Yonder

Big Walnut Yonder is the musical lovechild of four legendary forces in the indie-rock universe: Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose), Nels Cline (Wilco), Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), and Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos). Together, they have created a sonic explosion that is as unpredictable as it is mesmerising. Their self-titled debut album is a wild ride through a kaleidoscope of genres, blending punk rock energy with avant-garde experimentation. From the frenetic guitar riffs of "All Fours" to the sprawling instrumental odyssey of "Sponge Bath," Big Walnut Yonder never fails to keep listeners on their toes. What sets Big Walnut Yonder apart from their peers is their unapologetic embrace of chaos. Each track feels like a sonic rollercoaster, with sudden shifts in tempo, time signature, and instrumentation keeping you guessing at every turn. It's music that demands your full attention, rewarding those who dive headfirst into its cacophonous depths. But don't let their eccentricities fool you - beneath the noise and distortion lies a remarkable sense of melody and songcraft. Tracks like "Heat Melter" and "Ready to Pop!" showcase the band's ability to weave catchy hooks into their sonic maelstrom, proving that Big Walnut Yonder is not just a cacophony of noise, but a finely-tuned machine of musical brilliance. In a world of cookie-cutter indie bands and soulless pop acts, Big Walnut Yonder stands out as a beacon of creativity and originality. This is music that dares to push the boundaries of what is possible, inviting listeners to join them on a journey into the unknown. Strap in, hold on tight, and prepare to be blown away by the musical force that is Big Walnut Yonder.
