Brooklyn noise-rock outfit Parts & Labor has made a forceful return after a 15-year absence from the music scene. Their latest album, 'Set of All Sets,' released recently, demonstrates an unwavering commitment to their signature sound. The record showcases the unhinged, kinetic drumming characteristic of their early work, alongside the more melodic elements from their later period.
Across 17 tracks, 'Set of All Sets' delivers dense layers of distortion, electronic hiss, and rhythmic complexity. The album expertly blends the propulsion of their earlier releases with the compositional patience developed over time. Tracks like 'Many Worlds' and 'Indecision Tree' explore intricate textures and evolving soundscapes, pushing the boundaries of noise-rock.
The album also embraces melody, with songs like 'Like They're Here to Stay' and the title track featuring anthemic choruses and distinct melodic lines. The band's return signifies that their creative engine continues to run hotter, louder, and messier than ever before.
