The guitar hero from Reynols, is the
prolific Anla Courtis, who has appeared as a guest on what seems to
be hundreds of recordings after the year 2000. He has an undeniable
talent to churn out an endless skip full of tuneless
melodies,repetitive phrases,and droning guitar noise; which of course
is pretty easy to churn out,its just having the motivation to 'do
it'.
On 'Brokebox Juke' ,(hopefully not an
improv tribute to Brokeback Mountain!?) Anla,or it is Alan(?), is
joined by Volcano The Bears' drumming trumpet player Aaron Moore; who
contributes some more colour to the noise with his eclectic talents
for funny noises,funny instruments, and very fine improv drumming.
This brings some much needed craft to the session,(track 3,Lunoion =
A Nu Lion,shows the unbeliever that they can actually play their
instruments) making this an improv super-duo that works.
Of course there's the obligatory drone
epic that's been done a thousand times, but that is just one of the
many shades on this collaboration that rarely repeats itself
throughout the course of the 7 tracks. From the opening track, which
sounds like the theme from the Deer Hunter and a Martin Denny album
playing at the same time; to the drone rock freak out of the closing
number, this is a continuously inventive trek into the ever
mysterious world of 'make it up as you go along'.
Tracklist:
A1 | Prorgreso = Ropes Gro | |
A2 | Lopsla Nes = Opals Lens | |
A3 | Lunoion = A Nu Lion | |
A4 | Bluifedls = I Feed Bulls | |
B1 | Conpcion = P-Cone Conic | |
B2 | El Sincio = Silence Oil | |
B3 | Gigngante = Anti Egg |
