KIND WORDS:
Volcanic Tongue-
September 2011
Excellent new duo exchange
featuring Pascal Nichols of Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides on
percussion/electronics and Julien Dupont on horns. Some of Pascal’s most
overtly free jazz-damaged percussion moves here, with an attack that has
the kind of hypnotic pulsing undertow of Hamid Drake’s work with Die
Like A Dog crossed with the aggressive non-linear dynamism of a Paul
Lovens. It’s a wide ranging set, moving from muezzin-on-acid meets
electronics and delay through celestial Taj Mahal/Cherry-isms ala PWHMOBS
and even some deep-space psych that could almost be early Makoto Kawabata.
Pretty much my favourite Pascal appearance outside of Part Wild proper.
Edition of 100 copies. Recommended.
