Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
