Review by Geovanny Ardila

Album Review: There’s No Such Thing As Dragons by Ear & Dark Released in 2006, There’s No Such Thing As Dragons is a raw and unapologetic dive into the chaotic world of No Wave rock. Hailing from Denmark, Ear & Dark deliver an album that feels like it was birthed in some dimly lit basement where rules don’t apply—and honestly, we’re here for it. On this Black-Light Records release, the band takes risks with jagged rhythms, dissonant guitar work, and lyrics that feel more like cryptic poetry than sing-along anthems. It’s not perfect, but maybe that’s the point. One standout track is “No Title,” which hits you like a punch to the gut. The song opens with a screeching riff that refuses to settle into anything predictable. You can almost picture the band throwing themselves around onstage while playing it—equal parts chaos and control. What sticks with me isn’t just the noise; it’s how they pull back at moments, letting silence do its own heavy lifting before slamming you again. Tracks like these remind you why live music will always have a certain magic studio recordings can’t fully capture. Another gem (if you can call it that) is buried deeper in the album—I won’t name it because half the fun is finding it yourself. This one leans harder into spoken-word delivery over clattering percussion, creating something that feels less like a traditional song and more like overhearing someone unravel mid-conversation. It’s unsettling, sure, but also kinda brilliant. Like, I’ve caught myself humming bits of it days later, even though I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a melody involved. The production credits tell part of the story here: Nie Bug handles recording duties, capturing every gritty detail without smoothing out the rough edges. And props to Christian Bisgaard Andersen for the photography—it matches the vibe perfectly, all stark contrasts and moody shadows. Even the cover art, credited to Ear & Dark themselves, looks like it could double as graffiti on a Copenhagen wall. What makes There’s No Such Thing As Dragons memorable isn’t polish or perfection—it’s personality. Listening to it feels like eavesdropping on a secret conversation between musicians who couldn’t care less about fitting in. Sure, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you dig experimental rock that pushes boundaries, this one deserves your attention. Final thought? If dragons aren’t real, then neither are genre limitations—and Ear & Dark prove it. Now excuse me while I go see if my ears are still intact after hitting repeat too many times.

Interesting fact about Album

Released in 2006 under Denmark's Black-Light Records, it blends raw No Wave vibes with haunting energy. Fun detail—there’s a track with no title at all. Just "No Title." How mysterious is that?
