Sprain

In case you were not aware of it, LA band Sprain released a contender for album of the year a couple weeks ago with the epic, noisy, and sprawling "The Lamb as Effigy."  It's a massive album, but one i have not been able to get my mind off of since its release on the first.  At its core, it's a post punk record, but sounds kind of like if Liars, IDLES, Xiu Xiu, Swans, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor all got together to make record.  That being said, at the same time, these guys sound like no one else out there.  Check out the 24-minute "Margin for Error" below and get the record here from The Flenser.
