CD - $12.00    LP - $12.00   Chromosome Gun LOAD 070  LP/CD An all-star lineup of some key Norwegian improvisers make some dense and chewy stew for you to mull. The lineup on this record is Kjetil Brandsdal (of NOXAGT) on bass; Frode Gjerstad (leader of the Circulasione Totale Orchestra) on altosax, clarinet; Anders Hana on electric guitar; and Morten J. Olsen on drums. The seven compositions on this record definitely possess an avant-garde schooled energy that is heavy but also wielding a downtuned rock vibe. Drums explode, clarinet pushes, guitar and bass swirl with massive sheets of throb and feedback. Moments of quiet hum jut up against busy shitstorm to make an engaging sonic experience. The lineage of Frode Gjerstad is extensive with collaborations with DEREK BAILEY, PETER BROTZMANN, and WILLIAM PARKER all present on the resume. KJETIL BRANDSDAL also has an extensive resume with his bass playing job at NOXAGT, as well as many solo records on labels like SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND and CORPUS HERMETICUM.
