(7) Formed in 2010, LORD is a loud trio from Portland, Oregon, with a fondness for fret fingering. Inspired by instrumental works from groups like King Crimson, Krallice, and The Cancer Conspiracy, their sequentially titled 7 song debut "I" presents half an hour of cascading guitars, rattling bass lines, and anxious, algorithmic rhythms. Balancing their tendency toward heaviness with interludes that are occasionally curious, occasionally sentimental, and occasionally academic, the group creates complex music that is equal parts catharsis and exploratory étude. With a dose of DIY and some consequent rough edges, LORD sounds like what Robert Fripp might sound like if he was his own, angry younger brother.
