Ashley Hutchings / Morris On / Richard Thompson

The Morris On

June, 1972

British Folk

A genuine classic of U.K. folk-rock's heyday, this joyful set of mostly instrumental Morris dance music features scene lynchpins like Ashley Hutching, Richard Thompson, and John Kirkpatrick having a damn good time.

- Timothy Monger

Keiji Haino / Sumac

American Dollar Bill - Keep Facing Sideways, You're Too Hideous To Look at Face On

February 23, 2018

Noise-Rock

The first improvised collaboration between the legendary guitar terrorist and the post-metal trio is a relentless torrent of bitterness, despair, and frustration at the system, with Haino's full-throttle screaming matched by the intensity of Sumac's surround sound sludge. This is completely harsh, brutal, and disorienting, and not for one moment does it ever sound boring, uninspired, or pointless. All of the musicians maintain a deadly, razor-sharp focus, and the whole thing is powerful and full of purpose and conviction. Completely unbelievable.
