Lightning Bolt - Oblivion Hunter LP

Lightning Bolt redefines what it means to be DIY. An utterly singular band in every way, unbridled creativity and energy propel them well past most categorical boundaries, least of which is the boundary between band and audience. Theirs is an immersive experience – a sound so huge it can swallow us all.

"Oblivion Hunter" is a monster. Not a compilation, not concept album and more than the sum of its parts, the record is a peek into the band’s inner world on their home turf (the Hilarious Attic in Providence), collecting deep explorations into distortion, bass manipulation and its intersection with rhythm. A limited release in 2012 sold out almost immediately. This first re-issue is a deluxe one coming with 4 different covers each matched with it’s own colour vinyl. Re-mastered by Josh Bonati, you can now immerse yourself in this pivotal Lightning Bolt album’s sonic oblivion and you are now the "Oblivion Hunter".

A cathartic listening experience, "Oblivon Hunter" finds blastbeats colliding with distorted vocals and all shapes and sizes of guitar noises, even some metallic riffage on the album closer and aptly named World Wobbly Wide. Throughout, the sound is amped-up and free with an ear on the railroad tracks to the big sounds of industry and clamour. Bass sounds jump out of the speaker cones that conjure up ears in alien propulsion systems, nights in faraway wind tunnels.

Experience this pivotal album in Lightning Bolt’s catalogue like never before.
