RSR PC 081 Dissolve – Paul & Will

This month Paul and Will joined us on the podcast. Paul sings and Will plays guitar in Dissolve. We just released their latest record, Burnt and absolutely were honored and stoked to do so. Dissolve has been around since 1991 and released records with wide time gaps between them.  They endure and we talk about how that works with their band and how those releases have progressed to the most recent record, Burnt.

We talk about the bands they played with and other bands they were in. We talk briefly about Paul’s writing career (a book of short stories called Weakling Planet) and how that relates to how he writes lyrics. We talk about the bands they got to see and play with in the 90s and we go on from there. Check it out!

New Release from Dissolve! “Burnt” LP & Cassette

We’ve been working on this one for a while and it does not disappoint! A new record from CT’s spiritual cousins from Poughkeepsie, NY, Dissolve! We initially planned on doing a one sided cassette for a single long track. The band brought us 2 crushing and engaging works of force and finesse that are a never tiring 16+ and 20+ minutes each. We were so moved we decided there was no course, but to also offer it up on vinyl.

In addition to producing their usual brand of pissed-off Metal/Hardcore, the members of Dissolve have always dabbled in playing strange improvisational music. A few years back, the band started recording their rehearsals in an attempt to bring something tangible back from these sonic excursions into the far-out, deep space that they would travel to together. Burnt is the recorded artifact of these explorations and features two of Dissolve’s heaviest, and longest, songs ever.

“Shot Rocks” and “Eternal Sunshine” crush the listener with the brutal, down-tuned riffs and raving, street prophet vocals that people would expect from Dissolve, but then they also take a lot of unexpected twists and turns into blotter acid territory. The songs go deep into shadow realms of ambient whispers and electronic whirs that lead to gonzo guitar solos and bursts of noise. There’s a lot of wild sounds going on during these songs. Put on the good headphones, turn on, tune in, and drop out.
