John Zorn– Nova Express

(Tzadik, 2011)

I’ll keep this short and possibly sweet, although I don’t think Zorn does sweet.

The first half of this album is relatively laid back, especially by Zorn standards. I haven’t heard much since his Naked City days which obliterated my ears. 

 (Note: This song isn't from Nova Express but is fuckin' amazing)

Here, the avant-garde maestro lulls the listener into a false sense of relaxation before disintegrating the mind, melting the brain, but not quite destroying all sense of assonance.

Oh yeah, Trevor Dunn also makes an appearance.
