About this listen

Jagged, urgent, experimental - the 1998 album Sand On Seven by Not From There is an inventive debut that effectively blends post-punk, slowcore, and noise rock. The Australian trio incorporate German-language vocals on several tracks, giving the album an otherworldly edge to pair with angular guitars, throbbing basslines, and restless rhythms giving 90s indie rock a uniquely disorienting twist. Songs move between abrasive noise and moody atmosphere, reflecting both tension and restraint. Though it didn’t reach massive commercial heights, Sand On Seven became a cult favorite in alternative circles and won the ARIA Award for Best Alternative Release in 1999.
