I'm wondering if this is the sound of the bong finally hitting back or just the result of having spent the last few years touring with The Melvins and Tool? Whatever the case, Big Business are gearing up to release their latest (and first as a three-piece) exercise in thickness, Mind the Drift, and hitting the road with Tweak Bird – who if you recall are really fucking “fucked out.“
On “Gold and Final”, the group march through some thick neo-prog sludge that sounds like the perfect accompaniment to a night spent drinking absinthe and thinking really hard about how things will suck when the Mayan calendar runs out in 2012.
