Need Recommendations (2007 releases) (DISSONANCE!)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm looking for heavily dissonant music, and I haven't been in much success finding new music with this characteristic.  If you don't know what I mean by dissonance, I mean anything that's music is "ugly", this doesn't mean it has to be the heaviest of heavy metal, not at all, I don't care for the heaviness whatsoever.  Bands that I'd say follow what I'm talking about:

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Paper Chase, Flat Earth Society (jazz, not the hardcore band), Frank Zappa, Shining, 5UU's, etc.

If you still have no idea what I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonance_and_dissonance

I basically want melodies that are "unpleasant" and "grating", and specifically new.  Again, this doesn't mean I need constant screaming in the music, it just has to be dissonant.
