Yuma Nora is the strange improv experimental/noise/jazz trio of Comprised of drummer Aaron Reyna and singer/noise processor Amy Vecchione and Jake Anderson on guitar & ‘specialty sounds’. Mix NYC no wave circa ‘81, Sun Ra’s Arkestra at their weirdest with a vocalist that’s singing a few leagues under the sea - ‘ala Isobel from Bardo Pond. (((1))) Bizarre, drifting, noisy & jazzy with bits like Sun Ra’s “Koethek” concert. (((2))) Varied sections some straight-ahead others like early & mangled Sonic Youth. (((3))) Noisy yet gentle. Strange but true. ((((4)))) Warbly vocals, guitar noodlings, effects squelches, nice, slow bassy meanderings & some bombast (((5))) Strange but interesting structures nothing really matching the other, nice guitars. (((6))) Tribal drumming, way out there guitar/noise riffs. (7) SKIP THIS! Short noisy & annoying! ((8)) So-so guitars, noisy annoyance (((9))) Short flute solo with squalls of noise. Only 0:26. ((((10)))) Uppity, thudding, wild groove. Would sound awesome live. (((11))) Slow, noodling with horn, psych guitar & drums (((12))) Spacey, twiddling on the fretboard & effects. ((((13)))) Nice kinda punkish vibe. The Screamers crossed with God Is My Co Pilot? ((14)) Slow, fish-tank filters at full blast with sloth-tempo fuzz guitar. ((15)) Short piece with flute & occasional laser blasts. ((16)) Rumbling, squealing noise & drums. | ||
