USA Out of Vietnam - Crushing Diseases and Incurable Airplanes

Review by Tristan Bath

They write like a post-rock band, but they play like an Eyehategod, a Sleep, or a Melvins in full swing.»

SA Out Of Vietnam have paired with Aurora Borealis to release their auspicious debut Crashing Diseases and Incurable Airplanes.
Their musical influences are both transparent and widespread, and include black metal, doom, drone, minimalist composition, sludge, noise, post rock, shoe-gaze, dream pop, nineties psychedelia and classic seventies radio dial pop. Particularly transparent is this love of pop music, dense seventies-style production, and harmonized vocals that swerves around hairpin turns. If you really wanted to try to harness this slippery eel you could say that the band’s sound is as equally informed by the stacked production and pop savvy of Jeff Lynne’s E.L.O. as it is by the crushing heavy drones of Sunn O)))).
