Los Angeles instrumental group, with their debut album (following a couple of 7" appearances). Produced by Nels Cline and Tom Grimley. The band have been referred to as a "Shaggsian Magic Band," and there is a stellar 'n crudely rendered Beefheartian flavor to the way they construct new sound waves out of mere guitars, bass and drums. And although they've been influenced by some grade school listening to the likes of DNA, the Contortions and other no-wave seminal classics, they've updated that lineage with a hypnotic power rock splurge, added other outsider interests (gamelan, Scottish piping music, cosmic wavelength theory) and created a weird 'n wonderful detuned accessibility.
