Picture Ornette Coleman sitting in with the Stooges (the old Stooges, that is) as they tear through "L.A. Blues" and you'd be in the neighborhood of free jazz/noise rock/construction noise hybrid Original Silence.
This ear doctor's dream come true-- made up of producer-of-strange-things
Jim O'Rouke, Kim Gordon's husband
Thurston Moore, Swedish hornblower
Mats Gustafsson, Terrie Ex of
the Ex,
Paal Nilssen-Love of the Thing, and
Zu's Massimo Puppilo-- will issue their inaugural tinnitus-inducing screed April 23.
Squeaks, squalls, and saxophone calls abound on the totally-improvised, two-track
The First Original Silence LP, committed to tape at a September 2005 concert in Reggio Emilia, Italy and due from the
Smalltown Superjazzz label.
The First is the first in a planned series of Original Silence releases. We've heard it. It's loud.
The two tracks are called "If Light Has No Age, Time Has No Shadow" and "In the Name of the Law".
Some other band Thurston Moore's in will be playing through their magisterial
Daydream Nation in a few spots in conjunction with
All Tomorrow's Parties' Don't Look Back series, not least of which being our
Pitchfork Music Festival. Wait, you're kidding, right? You're not?! Score!
