24/palberta/bye bye berta
This year, few albums were as exciting and adventurous as this one right here. Palberta is Lily Konigsberg, Anina Ivry-Block, and Nina Ryser, and their Bye Bye Berta is noise rock at its finest: all bells, horns, and cowbells; shrieks, laughter, BASS. Twenty tiny compositions in twenty eight minutes, steeped in a free form, rip it up, turn it loose punk ethos (including a brilliant one minute bare bones take on the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive"). With Bye Bye Berta, Palberta gives us beautifully controlled chaos that is textured and fucking abrasive. A free space in album form that's a head trip, and a feast for the ears.
