Next Freaks Day Out is on Sunday and should be killer. If you're Brooklyn or Brooklyn-adjacent and love sick jamming in a chill outdoor setting, come hang!

I've been loving the new Memorials record (great rec from the seldom-misses @liffy), one of those duos that sound like a six-piece. Wasn't sure how it'd translate live but, whoa! what a fucking show they put on at Union Pool. Rare time I wish I was closer so I could see what they were doing on stage. Obviously using loops and live samples, but never really felt like it, if I didn't know any better, sounded like a full band on stage. The dude played drums and guitar + sang harmony and the woman sang lead and played synths and saxophone and it was such a killer, danceable psych art rock. There were these intervals of sound collage weirdness and a few songs of kind of Britfolk and it was all just *brilliant*. The fact that there was live drums seemed like the key, when he switched to guitar, there were no drums at all which totally worked and when he returned to the kit it was like this sick beat drop. Anyway, go see them if they come your way. Bought a shirt!

Last night I caught a *sick* Simulacrum set at Roulette. Simulacrum being a Zorn project featuring Medeski, Hollenberg, and Grohowski playing the heaviest shit imaginable. Bonkers how much range Zorn has.
