The Conformists have existed with the same members for over 10 years and I’m sad that I’m just barely discovering them. Their second full-length album Three Hundred is a dissonant and cohesive masterpiece. With every listen there is something new to be heard. They utilize every sound and nuance possible. They go from yells and distortion to breaking to an almost inaudible silence that consists of slight breathing and taps of the cymbal stands. The Conformists can transform any song into whatever they want, changing time signatures and mood with ease. The album begins with an unlisted first track of background noise, then immediately jumps into the random off time action of the second track “Laundry Hepburn.” The third track on the album “Stairway to Heaven” is the first song to utilize the quiet breakdown. These guys could make music out of any rhythm and structure a song out of any possible noise, this skill is best highlighted on track seven “A.S.M.M.C.” The eight songs on the album are crafted specifically to creep into heads and cause a nervous twitch. The Conformists are pimp!
