Goes Cube Song 46 - see Goes Cube at Bowery Ballroom tonight, After the Jump Fest tomorrow

Goes Cube very recently had one of their brand new songs premiere on Stereogum (listen to it below), they're set to rock the shit out of Bowery Ballroom tonight (playing with Stereo Total and The Octopus Project), and then they'll be destroying the After the Jump Fest tomorrow.

The song you'll find below is one of four new Goes Cube songs that have been ripping apart my eardrums of late. These four tracks were recorded at Wild Arctic Studio in Long Island City by Dean Baltulonis (Foreign Islands) and they show off an evolving, maturing, Goes Cube that's not afraid to get a bit more intricate, dark, and HEAVY. The best Goes Cube songs to date? Yes.

"Song 46" takes only a few brief moments in the beginning before launching into full on attack mode. And yet, this is only a small hint at what will follow - musical foreplay. Goes Cube wants you to wait for it. Wait for the payoff, because when things really kick in - the scream at 1:55, the explosion at 2:28 - you're going to need to change your shorts. Here they've seemingly out-Gish'd Smashing Pumpkins, on other songs from these brand new tracks they've taken the direction Slint was always hinting at and gone four or five steps heavier and darker. They've redefined themselves ever so slightly by mixing into their made-for-Dischord sound heaping amounts of full-on metal. Listen to the vocals, the guitars - my god, the drumming. Goes Cube's new material delivers thunderous, shredding, annihilating musical conquest. If you're looking for the best "loud motherfucking live rock band" in New York City, look no further.

Some day a smart record label is going to snatch up this new material, put this band out on the road with a well-paired headlining band, and sit back and watch music nuts all over the world fall head over heels in love with Goes Cube. Until then, you can be very thankful that you get to see them twice in one weekend.
