Totally out-of-control electroacoustic experimental / free jazz from Oakland. Snippets of philosophical spoken word poetry over a blend of spiraling saxophone, cacophonous drums, and gyrating noise. Avant-garde. Jumbled and messy but recorded quite cleanly. This is what Wolf Eyes might sound like if they did a coterm and recorded at CCRMA. For fans of unabashedly challenging music.

RIYL: Roscoe Mitchell, Zoh Amba, ESP-Disk, Sick Llama, etc.
FCC: 12
TRY: 8- 9 are the more accessible picks. Go with 3-5 if you’re tryna get gnarly.

(1.) (3:45) Lonely spoken word intro over frantic, chopped up free jazz and bursts of static. Gentle one moment, total chaos the next
(2.) (3:30) Frenzied saxophone loops over bouncy percussion. Anxious and racing
(3.) (4:51) Loud and boisterous intro transitions into spacey free-jazz with tinkly percussion
(4.) (1:49) Sped up jazz samples, bits of noise rock and then a great sax/drum duet for the last minute
(5.) (5:51) Bursts of sax/drums layered with doomsday text-to speech recording. Then ~3 minutes of wailing sax over barren percussion
(6.) (4:15) More spoken word / electroacoustic experimentation
(7.) (6:50) Avant-garde saxophone experimentation with stabs of electric guitar and a bit of megaphone spoken word
(8.) (6:27) Instrumental with really cool watery textures, extraterrestrial percussive elements, sleek electronica, a bit of horns. One of the more accessible tracks for sure
(9.) (2:25) Vocoder vocals, a peppy keyboard beat, just a bit of moody sax
(10.) (3:37) Dense free jazz with squeals of distortion
(11.) (4:31) Smooth ambient bed with climbing saxophone scales and shaky maracas
(12.) (9:45) (FCC) Long outro combining many of the textures, spoken elements, and choppy song structures that precede it
