No Age brings back the craft of music

In an era where music lives in remote servers, delivered in streams, an artist laboring over the design and manufacturing of their new LP may seem odd.

When that album is “An Object,” and the artist is No Age, the L.A. noise-punk duo of drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt and guitarist Randy Randall, it makes perfect sense. The pair is painstaking in their presentation (2008’s “Nouns” merited them a Grammy nod), and their highly physical sound is built to deliver a visceral punch, never letting the listener forget that human hands (and minds) are hard at work.
