Fluvial

Uniting the former Henry Cow multi-instrumentalist with the fiercely idiosyncratic Belgian vocalist, this challenging collaboration delves deeply into avant-garde improvisation and deconstructed folk music. 'Fluvial' is characterized by Jauniaux's wildly elastic, theatrical vocal gymnastics sparring intensely with Hodgkinson's scraping, unpredictable reed and keyboard work. The fiercely uncompromising, difficult recording sits firmly at the intersection of European free improvisation and the Rock in Opposition movement.
