unmanned ship - for whom the bowl tolls

rising from the dilapidated warehouse spaces and dark alleys of chicago's house show scene is a forceful new monster of a band that you must check out now, UNMANNED SHIP..... they play stoner noise caked space rock like you've never heard before, super mesmerizing, all instrumental, genre bending, creepy and loud as fuck.......  and their new lp FOR WHOM THE BOWL TOLLS out on ROTTED TOOTH is one of the best lps birthed from the unruly chicago noise scene in quite some time.....

sharing members with fellow scenesters OOZING WOUND, you'd be right to expect an unholy racket emanating from UNMANNED SHIP.......  similar to the feedback laced sonic explorations of chicago's other noise makers, CACAW, MAKO SICA, RUNNING, NONES and MAYOR DALEY, UNMANNED SHIP teeter on the knife edge of psych blowouts, stoner metal, prog pyrotechnics and noisy post rock....swirling together quite the heavy riffing groove that you'll wanna spin over and over again.....

need more words to get you to check out UNMANNED SHIP....???
     read what lance from permanent records has to say about
the newest banger from ROTTED TOOTH.......

  "Unmanned Ship are active stoners.  The difference between active stoners and lazy stoners is obvious.  The active ones do cool shit while they’re baked and the lazy ones do lame shit.  Unmanned Ship stay busy as bees in Chicago.  One of the rad things the Unmanned Ship dudes do is make fucking killer instrumental rock jams.  The three of ‘em concoct quite a hypnotic brew.  It’s the kind of bubbly, dark, sweet porter I bee nectar fermenting into at the end of summer under less honey-friendly conditions.  Coincidentally, their brand of stoner rock has the geometric and psychedelic qualities of a honeycomb.  These grooves are repetitive and technical, but never too flashy and by no means boring. A grounded rhythm section is nicely complemented by hydrodynamic guitar lines and extraterrestrial effects.  Not exactly what I’d deem space rock, but a bit arthropodic to be sure.  In fact, this whole record would score an Apoidean documentary quite nicely.  With the majority of the footage shot within the hive and featuring a substantial amount of bee carnage of course, this would make the PERFECT soundtrack to a Planet Earth chapter on bee fights.  I’d buy that for a dollar!  This hyper limited, hand-screened, hand-numbered LP full of heavy, buzzing, intoxicating rock is HIGH-ly recommended for stoned drones.  The Queen would never approve, but fuck that bitch – she’s fucking all of us."

fans of lightning bolt, sunn o))), unholy two, sleep, pelican, spacemen 3, boris, don cabellero, the melvins and liquorball will find something to get excited about in UNMANNED SHIP's new lp.......
