Talibam! - Ordination Of The Globetrotting Conscripts

The NYC group's first-ever studio record was the result of one non-stop, three-day session of furious improv recorded in the winter of 2006.

The duo of Matt Mottel (keys) and Kevin Shea (drums) recruited an ensemble that includes some of New York's most advanced improvisers: Peter Evans (trumpet), Cooper-Moore (self-made instruments), Michael Evans (percussion), Anders Nilsson (guitar), Moppa Elliott (acoustic bass), Jeremy Wilms (guitar), Jon Irabagon (sax), Sam Kulik (trombone), Ed Bear (feedbacksaphone) and Robbie Lee (renaissance instruments).

They emerged from the studio with this luminous, unexpected masterpiece of cracked, American noise. The sonic maelstrom they work up in the course of these eight songs and forty-five minutes highjacks the vocabularies of free-jazz, Appalachia, Afropop, psychedelia, electro-acoustic composition, and noise and spins them out in vivid constellations of sound. Its antecedents include Bat-Chain Puller, Astro-Black, Machine Gun, Rock In Opposition, Moon in June, Keith Moon, Ground Zero, Dancing in Your Head.
