I like the way short releases are sort of like snapshots, but they’re all part of a bigger body of work to me.” It might be a bit of an unconventional route, but for Goodson it was a more authentic way of channeling experiences into the songs. “A lot happened in the past few years–my kid was born, people I love passed away or got sick–just lots of real life,” he says. “When I listen to these songs I can really hear myself trying to figure it all out.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sonic leap from the first \u003cem\u003eMAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD\u003c\/em\u003e to this second volume is especially pronounced in the seven new songs, which appear first in the collection’s reverse-chronological sequence. The primitive drum machine programming of Dazy’s early work has evolved into a tangle of head-bobbing loops and intricate production; the guitars are still there, but instead of a wash of fuzz they’re now powerful elements in a collage of samples, mellotron strings, and creatively manipulated found sounds. And above it all there’s Goodson’s affable voice–no longer buried in the noise, grounding every song with undeniable hooks and layered harmonies. And while he’s never been shy about his love of classic alternative music–especially the intersections between rock and electronic that were prominent in the ‘80s and ‘90s–the songs on \u003cem\u003eMAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD Vol. 2\u003c\/em\u003e feel like all of those influences are being transmuted into something that really just sounds like Dazy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lame-O Records","offers":[{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":49230596014331,"sku":"LMO-141-tape","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4087\/9867\/files\/Dazy_MBSL2_digitalcover_1.jpg?v=1787850415","url":"https:\/\/lameorecords.com\/products\/dazy-maximumblastsuperloud-vol-2-24-songs-from-2023-2026","provider":"Lame-O Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
