Spelling Bee, Masonry, Concentric, and Lines And Terminals at Borg Ward Collective
A sludgy, hard-rocking instrumental quartet with leftist politics, Milwaukee band Masonry prides itself on being difficult to characterize. “Math-rock” is probably the most accurate genre tag, though Masonry is too melodic and ballsy to fit comfortably under that banner. Suffice it to say adventurous listeners with a penchant for loud jams should be able to sink their teeth into Masonry’s thick grooves. The group should sound even more powerful live these days, with the recent additions of a new guitarist and overtly psychedelic overtones in the band’s aggressive sonic attack.
