"A massively subtle psychedelic system... Here, even the slightest flux in rhythmic/melodic detail seems almost tectonic ... Ferocious." The Wire
"Paradise between the back porch, the urban jungle and the heavens above ... Rarely does the avant-garde rock this hard." Time Out New York
"ROCKS! Great Southern-fried looped blues rock. Like Steve Reich if all he listened to was Muddy Waters and Zeppelin." Dusted Magazine

CHRIS CORSANO (US)
Chris Corsano is surely of the hardest-working drummers around and one of the best. Intense kinetic explosions of energy and concentrated near-silence, he effortlessly flows from one idea to the next. He has recorded and gigged with, Free Jazz/Noise legend Paul Flaherty, Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, Jandek, Evan Parker, Sunburned Hand Of Man, MV&EE, Keiji Haino and many more.

Now based in Edinburgh, Corsano has been focusing on developing an expanded solo percussion music of his own, incorporating sax reeds, violin strings and bows, pot lids, adhesive tape, and other household devices into his drumkit. A master at work.
