Smalltown Superjazz STSJ-144
CD
£10.99
Latest release for this pan-Atlantic free jazz/skronk rock supergroup featuring Thurston Moore, Jim O’Rourke, Mats Gustafsson, Massimo Pupillo, Terrie Ex and Paal Nilssen-Love. The rhythm section actually keep it pretty tight here, so the sound is closer to No Wave than Fire Music, with fast guitar patterns shredded by saxophone in a way that orbits the early Teenage Jesus/James Chance jams, albeit with a bunch more technical muscle. When they do up anchor, it’s kind of psychedelic.
