This week’s Bandcamp Monday brings us the inspired/incendiary power trio team-up of Kid Millions (Oneida), James McNew (Yo La Tengo) and Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine, many more). Things kick off in full blowout mode — the second track, “The High Price” is a total rager, with Kid and McNew laying down a demonic beat and Brokaw coughing up shards of glorious riffage and white-hot feedback. Ride the lightning! But the album isn’t all thrash-and-burn. “Playa del Ticia” and "Skeleton Coast” are both sunshine-infused pop numbers. Best of all is the closing self-titled epic, with the band finding an elevated plane of sonic conversation over the course of nearly 18 wonderfully transporting minutes. Magical.
And hey! If you haven’t already, go give what you can to Kid Millions’ GoFundMe page -- he was in a pretty serious car accident recently and could use a little cash.
Man Forever "You Were Never Here / Continuous Infinate Present" (live at Cafe OTO)
Man Forever is a percussion ensemble founded by ONEIDA drummer John Colpitts. Equally versed in the disparate musical languages of DIY rock, improvisation, and contemporary classical, Colpitts creatd Man Forever to 'explore the outer limits of drum performance, to overwhelm, to investigate the nuances that bloom in the midst of repetitive music." Elaborate drum arrangements remain essential to Man Forever, augmented by voice and melody - and Alexander Hawkins for this special OTO show.
"[Kid Millions] plays with a momentum and velocity that few can match and...a huge amount of soul." - The Quietus
