Hello friends, Dogentricks.com here. Today, the World is Yours.

Last September I discovered a band called Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. Their concise, 6 track self-titled debut was without doubt my favorite album of 2008. Half of songs are already in my all time top 25 most played list, despite their fairly recent discovery. Listening to the album is like a bullet crashing towards you through 6 sheets of stained glass. Loud, flashy, and fast.

If I had to make a comparison, I’d characterize Mass of the Fermenting Dregs as the Japanese indie female counterpart to the fantastic American band Saosin. I give the center stage to Mass however, with their creativity and hypnotizing instrumentals.

Sometimes I feel as if this band was made specifically for me. Then, I list off all their attributes and realize, “well of course they were!”

1. Incredible song variety with a healthy balance of instrumentals and vocally driven songs.
2. Haunting female vocals
3. Ridiculously distorted guitar
4. Ridiculously distored bass
5. Shakers.
6. Walls of percussion

That being said, I was rather excited when I finally got my hands on their new album “The World is Yours”. Today I listened to the album with a pair of amped Shure 530s, and cried.

I am happy to say their new album is absolutely incredible. In describing the sound to a friend, I explained it as ‘spacial.’ But it’s more than just spacial, this album is a massive tunnel echoing with emotion. No, it’s more like lying in a planetarium and watching the big bang occur in hyperspeed – countless beautiful explosions in space and time. It’s everything I expect from Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, and everything I can’t explain with words – just damn good.

The World is Yours! Check it out.
