Torche

Mind-rupturing 2008 debut album from the Miami quartet, released on Mogwai's Rock Action label. This record is already confirmed as Mojo's Underground Album Of The Month! Unlikely pairings rarely look good on paper. But, the self-titled debut by Torche, which amazingly merges the heft of the Melvins with dementedly catchy Jesu-style vocal harmonies, is an infectious and seemingly impossible synthesis we call "Thunder Pop." Rock Action.
