Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured dynamically during a period of fierce cross-pollination between New York's jazz and punk scenes, 'Future Funk / Uncut!' embodies the chaotic energy of the 'No Wave' adjacent movement. Released initially on cassette by ROIR, the recordings spotlight dissonant horn lines clashing with hyperactive, syncopated rhythms. It remains a fascinating snapshot of the city's experimental underground funk permutations.
