by Jeremiah Cymerman / Charlie Looker
supported by 11 fans who also own “Spine 08”
Dark and existential music. Depression, nihilism and hopelessness come to the surface from every note, but therein lies the haunting beauty of this record, the slow dive beneath the surface of existence. The soundtrack to noir lives.

ERA [CAA-033]
by Joe Morris & Joe McPhee
supported by 10 fans who also own “Spine 08”
Two masters who have gone far beyond free improv cliches and tropes to reach a space where the exploration sounds totally relaxed and natural, even at its most intense. This music makes me feel reassured, in safe hands, and joyful.
