Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Contender for free entry gig of the year?! Red hot free-jazz kraut-punk unleashed on bass, feral baritone sax and drums. Angular Kuti-inspired polyrhythms meet Brötzmann-worthy freakouts - this’ll fry your brain (or your money back). Essential FFO: Sons of Kemet, the Ex, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, Zu."
