Weird combo of acoustic guitar, accordion, and violin, often playing in strange tonalities (i.e. that out-of-tune sound). The trio's sound is an improv clatter, often aggressive. Nice stuff, although the accordion sounds can get on your nerves, especially if played at high volume.

1- A groany drone that later splinters apart
2- Fast and aggressive
3- Another drone, slow, creeping
4- Fast, with a couple of near-silent stretches
5- Quiet and fast-paced
6- Long, sweeping tones and a chattery attack later. Slow start.
7- Fast; lots of babbling accordion
8- Loud clattering and drones; becomes a mad scrabble
9- Lingering, slow
10- Fast and flowing
11- Poking, stabbing sounds. Later, some ferocious playing.
