New #review today: "Back on their 2012 album A Little Bit of Big Bonanza, #BushmansRevenge covered #SonnySharrock’s “As We Used to Sing,” and that gives us a good idea where they get their idea of jazz from. On Ah, les Vaches! they carry on in the same basic vein they’ve been mining for as long as I’ve been aware of them. At one end of the spectrum, they play loose, noisy #jazz in Sharrock’s idiom, and at the other, they drift off into effects-laden atmospheric haze." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #KarismaRecords #IsItJazzRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bushmans-revenge-ah-les-vaches-2.html

New #review today: "Sometimes you have to give up trying to make sense of the world and just accept things as they are. For example, why is there a band called #HoneyRideMeAGoat? I don’t know why they’re called that, but I do know that they’re a really interesting band, so I suppose they need a name. The group’s origins go back to 2000, when some students at Canterbury College bonded over a shared love of Captain Beefheart, Black Sabbath, and Soft Machine." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/honey-ride-me-a-goat-horns-hooves-2.html

New #review today: "Here we have #TrioOfBloom, with #NelsCline (guitar), #CraigTaborn (keyboards), and #MarcusGilmore (drums). This is by far the most improvisational of the bands, as you might expect from having Cline on board, and he’s in full out-there mode for most of this album." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz #PyroclasticRecords #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/trio-of-bloom-trio-of-bloom-2.html

New #review today: "Hotel Pupik continues the changes in #LedBib that we saw on It’s Morning. The group is now a quartet, with the dual-saxophone front line of #PeteGrogan and #ChrisWilliams that has defined them since the beginning fronting just bass and drums. With the departure of keyboards, the arrangements are a bit less dense, and they continue the focus on sparser and more atmospheric sounds." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/led-bib-hotel-pupik-2.html

New #review today: "#Ledley's #RaphClarkson (trombone, effects), #ChrisWilliams (saxophone, effects), and #RiaanVosloo (electronics, post-production) produce #ImprovisedMusic that is mostly on the gentle side, without any frantic or chaotic turns, but full of timbral variety and subtlety." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ledley-ledley-2.html

New #review today: "#ThisCelestialEngine consists of keyboardist #RoyPowell, who has extensive jazz credentials as well as groups such as #Mumpbeak and #InterStatic; bassist #DaveSturt, whom we’ve encountered with #Gong, #JadeWarrior, #BillNelson, #SteveHillage, and more; and drummer #TedParsons, whose career started with #Swans and includes #KillingJoke, #BillLaswell, #Buckethead, and many more." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/this-celestial-engine-this-celestial-engine-2.html

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html
