Bass, drum and guitars meshed together with a synthetic twine envisioned in future think tanks. Literally the sound of human progress darkened with a profound fidelity so loud the dark matter of the universe quivers in a deadly orgasm. Guitar, bass and drums reconfigured for a new purpose.

This is the band's sixth album and takes the notch so much higher than previous efforts in terms of songwriting and production. With ANDREW W.K. as a producer, some of the caustic curtains that swathed past albums have been parted to reveal a coldly pulsing artificial heart. And the beat of this heart sounds off in an alien tongue of bass and drums. Guitars descend like unforgiving sheets of napalm from the smoldering skyline. Songs pop out of this miasma that tick off icy coolness with piano and vocal stylings. Indeed, hot and cool. To accentuate the difference this album has versus previous Sighting's records, a Scott Walker cover is included. This is a rock album, but a rock for times coming, a sound of future days. Break the chains from the days of past, listen to SIGHTINGS and evolve.

Never before has a band managed to erase themselves. New York City's SIGHTINGS have risen to the challenge of negation with this "what the fuck" of a record that rolls the twenty sided dice to dematerialize any trace of guitar, bass and drums into proton dust floating microns on top of the speaker cone. Minimal, yes. Previous records have gone from favorites at magazines as chocolate and peanut butter as the Wire and Terrorizer. Past records have been steaming knee burn befuddled by German technoid impulse and Yoko-damaged Beatles-busting intensity. A new icy coolness is added to the steaming soup this time allowing the sounds of mouth breathing to open up the record into a drug-fueled nightclub beast humping a bass bin as the sun rises. Features three breakaway singles that have Jay-Z scrambling for answers.

5. Switching to Judgement
6. Dudes

Eight songs that take apart rock music atom by atom so that you are left with a skeleton of sound. Sightings still using the tools of the trade - guitar, bass and drums to take both rock and roll out of rock n' roll. Reference weirdo deconstructo outfits like EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN and MAINLINER. This is the sound between the guitar strings, inside the bass amp, and within a drum stick. Yes, the truth. If punk rock used to mean fucking shit up and doing it your own way, this record erects a mile high middle finger facing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Screaming out of New York City is the shit hot sounds that stretch the 3-piece rock format out like a molten piece of taffy. 11 songs, real short and frothing at the mouth. You can hear a three piece band in the classic guitar-bass-drums format make the kind of noise others would need electronics for. Fans of Mainliner, free rock like Wolf Eyes, quiet walks in the park, Harry Pussy, Yoko Ono and herbal tea will really dig this slippery slab. This is a complete baaad-ass hate fest with sub-dermal bass, paper thin razor guitar and Axis of Evil drumfuckery.

The band has toured with Load acts Lightning Bolt and Pink and Brown and played with Van Halen, Guns and Roses, and Creed. They are superstars of the noisy rock mafia, have quick tempers, and unflinching instincts. The songs are fast, the levels in-the-red, and lyrics unintelligible.

Covers for the LP are silk screened and limited. Limited availability on colored vinyl as well.

The band has a 7" on Freedom From and a 12" on Psycho-Path out soon.
