about

"Sunning solo/duo high energy free rock from Duncan Blachford of Australia’s Exhaustion/Endless Melt et al: the Endless Melt label came out of nowhere as ground zero for new free music trails coming out of Australia right now and Blachford is the central cog. Here he comes over like a one man Daily Dance, playing drums, percussion, guitars, trumpet and keys with contributions from Alison Bolger (Actual Holes et al) on vocals and saxophone. Some of the drums/guitar violence has the same savage form-destroying feel of Stefan Jaworzyn’s Ascension or early Skullflower while the heady drone quotient and singing amplifier hypnotics point to This Heat’s more occult free rock workings, with a free jazz ‘edge’ that is uniquely seat-of-the-pants. Indeed, this one seems to balance precariously on the tipping point between classic improvised high energy ramalama and gorgeous slo-mo amplified tectonics like nothing else this side of Doug Synder and Bob Thompson. Sold out at source. Highly recommended!" David Keenan, Volcanic Tongue

Water-damaged free-jazz. Sprawling layers of improvisation form a galaxy of percussion and droning bass, shimmering guitar and vintage key-hum. Combined with glimpses of trumpet, saxophone and half-sleeping vocals, a soundscape of fried theta waves emerges, unravelling in an untuned solar-hued sky.
