The Bohman Brothers & Blood Stereo / Live at Wiltons Music Hall
Blood Stereo and the Bohman Brothers are drunk on the deep avant-garde of Swedish sound poetry, the damaged asylum-wall scrapings of outsider improvisation and the disruptive strategies of the Dadaists. These performers headbutt avant-middlebrow complacency into next week with an exclusive Cut & Splice collaborative showdown that will see their arsenal of tabletop clutter augmented by radio receivers. Inspired and inspiring collaboration between English weirdo 'improvisers' The Bohman Brothers and Scottish weirdo 'improvisers' Blood Stereo aka Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance. Recorded live in London in November 2010 this is a beautiful traverse of pointillist small instrument confusion with violins, loops, tapes, springs, vocals, wine glasses and radio receivers conjuring form from straight out of the air. The use of the receivers in particular adds a fuzzy nocturnal/psychedelic muzz to the proceedings while the logic of the jams follows an eccentric arc that really sounds like little else in 'improvised music'. An inspired hook-up between a bunch of genuinely eccentric and creative fringe artists. Comes packaged in a DVD-style case with three photo prints inside. Edition of 100 copies.
