Ingebrigt Haker Flaten & Steve Jansen
Locations
That’s Cool Records
“"That’s Cool Records is an independent experimental record label founded in 2011 by Steve Jansen, a jack-of-all-sonic-trades from the southwestern corners of the United States who, after endless befuddled minutes of ham-fisted independent research, is confirmed to be not Steve Jansen of Japan, itself not a country. Locations is the 55th release in the TCR catalog, a collaboration between Jansen and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, “the man with the bass,” one of Norway’s most prolific and talented expatriates, who on this recording accompanies Jansen’s tape, guitar, and saxophone work with a combination of electric and acoustic basses." -Post Capital Club”
Mats Gustafsson
This is From The Mouth
Utech Records
“"This Is From The Mouth" is a record by Mats Gustafsson accompanied by two drummers, Andreas Werliin of Fire! and Wildbirds & Peacedrums, and David Sandström of the post-hardcore group Refused, originally issued in 2016 through Utech Records as a single side LP limited to 300 copies.”
Neneh Cherry & The Thing
The Cherry Thing
SmallTown Supersound
“"So, somehow, The Cherry Thing, the album that the free-spirited pop star and the impish free jazz ensemble made together, is not the indulgent, impenetrable mess that you might expect; just the opposite, actually. It's a remarkably well-defined, cohesive, and above all things inviting listen, and at eight tracks it feels neither slight nor needlessly sprawling. Consisting almost entirely of covers and concocted from an unpretentious, no-frills sonic palette, The Cherry Thing is an exercise of the freedom you can invent within certain limits. Can you create new sensations from well-worn material? Is anything so sacred that you can't melt it down into jewelry?" -Lindsay Zoladz, pitchfork”
