avant-jazz



This album absolutely blows my mind, and not a lot of music has been doing that to me lately. Especially the last song "One Day I Just Kept On Walking" with it's 3-chords, accompaniment by a simple drum pattern at the 8 minute mark and then FINALLY a chord change a minute later. Sounds bleak, but have you seen Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch or El Topo by Alejandro Jodorowski? Those movies' soundtracks are pretty much as simple as this track, but still manage to create an unbearably dramatic and tense soundscape. If you do not agree... we have as much in common as the emotion fear does with a BEER CAN! Thank you for your time.

"At this piece near it's climax, Brovold's guitar starts to sound like Link Wray in the throes of a nervous breakdown... and demands the listeners total attention."

well said.
