Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring members of Colossamite and Deerhoof, this avant-garde collaboration delivers a wildly unpredictable instrumental experience. 'Open Mouth, O Wisp' is heavily rooted in free improvisation, jagged math-rock guitar interplay, and frantic noise rock dissonance, completely abandoning traditional song structures.
