Van Boven
IED (improvised explosive device)
EDT4029

Welcome to the nether world of rock:
Sawdust covered benches inside caverns of lamp lit,
liquid -soaked, cigar smoke filled rooms, peeling blue
paint on the walls. …outside is a coffee colored pitch black sky, in the corn fields ravens swing about in the sky singing restlessly. On the corner there’s a horror movie gas station, blood, whiskey, and fish bait.
Van Boven starts with an indie rock aesthetic, and
takes it to ominous extremes…combining avant-rock
concepts with dirty underground blues and melodic
meandering…their music is both inspiring, and
thoughtfully aggressive.
