Thirty-two tracks of jagged, atonal friction. Arto Lindsay’s un-tuned guitar and Ikue Mori’s skeletal drumming redefine rock as a series of violent, rhythmic spasms.

DNA on DNA is the definitive document of a band that sought to erase the history of rock and roll while standing right in the middle of it. This is the sound of friction: Arto Lindsay's guitar does not play chords or melodies, but rather emits percussive, metallic shrieks that feel like they are being torn from the instrument. It is a confrontational listening experience that rewards those who find beauty in the breakdown of traditional structures. The music is skeletal, consisting of jagged fragments that rarely exceed the two-minute mark, creating a sense of urgent, claustrophobic energy.
