8/10

Words: Leanne Crowley

Gracing our ears from Guadalajara, Mexico are Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, who this week have released this, the second single to be pulled from third album ‘Chambers'.

The two-piece - Lorena Quintanilla and Alberton Gonzalez - released their first LP back in May 2011 - and they've come a long way since. 'Sealed Scene' offers four minutes of psych kraut rock noise, that opens on strong guitar effects before the riff from the second guitar joins the fray, and with the first continuing to whirr relentlessly in the background - it's s full-on noise onslaught. The introduction of indistinguishable vocals adds another layer to the sound as a background entity before they are brought forward and clarified.

For the final minute of the track, the effects really come in to play, this sees off the vocals but all the other elements come into their own and the track repeats on itself before coming to a sudden, yet no less dramatic, conclusion.

This is definitely one of the strongest tracks the duo have produced.
