Cleveland congratulations are in order for Mystery of Two. You can hear this city’s collective grunt of working for everything you have channeled in all the instruments. The guitar is subtly phenomenal, combining light reverberation at a schizophrenic pace with drop down 1992 distortion. The banged out pop of Nick Riley’s drums manages to bottom out when it wants (He is, in this writer’s humble opine, one of the best drummers to witness live – his face sweats genuine happiness when he swings his drum club).
Mystery of Two is playing at Arts Collinwood every Saturday in February so be sure to catch them live sometime for some musical warmth during these cold winter months.
I’ve been in New York for three and a half years, and Greenpoint for the past year and a half. When I moved to the city I never thought that I would have such a devotion to one record shop….I have always been a record buyer/ collector, and even worked at a record store (which I still consider one of the best). I was familiar with the other stores in the city, but had not been to Permanent Records until I moved to Greenpoint.
like some mutant spawn of early GBV or Mission of Burma being quickly overrun by the Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr., and about 20 Dischord bands of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s.
Mystery of Two is one experimental rock band worth listening to. This album doesn’t disappoint on any of its tracks. The only downfall is that there aren’t more tracks of this.
The biggest mystery is why am I not following this band around like a shadow watching them make every note of audio from toothbrushing in the morning to book page turning as they doze off. This post -No Wave genius band is super ridiculously awesome and you should love them like your own children.
The record release show is a time honored tradition. After all the hard work writing and recording an album, and all that time waiting for the final mix, the album art, and test pressings, it’s an opportunity for a little relaxation with friends, family, and label mates as you kick out some jams from your latest release
Mystery of Two is really no mystery. They are simply great (and there are three of them instead of two).
