If you look under the hood of Car Bomb’s Tiles Whisper Dreams EP, you’re going to find a twisted metal landscape of tech-death complexity, heavy shoegaze subversion and engine-cracking djent-outs custom-built to keep you on edge.
Take Blindsides, a multi-chambered monstrosity wherein guitarist Greg Kubacki uses a Fractal Axe-Fx to tone-warp chords as a motion-sick nod to My Bloody Valentine, then undulates through mock-gear-shifting texturalism like a renegade NASCAR driver, and then heads into a dangerously off-kilter rhythmic parabola that makes it sound like Car Bomb are about to come to a catastrophic end.
