- Genre: Jazz
- Description: Seattle's beloved subterranean music iconoclast Skerik has long found the city of New Orleans a balm for his inherently subversive musical approach. Currently calling the Crescent City his second home, the saxophonist fully embraces this dichotomy between his own profane instincts and the Big Easy's rich jazz traditions with Compersion Quartet - a band in which the he's joined by fellow incendiary musicians pianist Brian Hass, bassist James Singleton and drummer Simon Lott. Recorded in New Orleans, the quartet's self-titled debut album presents a series of studio improvisations that amalgamate in fits and starts of cinematic beauty, syncopated melodism and mystic sonic experimentalism. Throughout the album's 11 tracks, Compersion Quartet explores deconstruction and rebirth, while undermining the math of music through enigmatic human vibrations intrinsic to improvisation. Like the green lizard adorning the album's cover art, just when the listener thinks they've captured the music's essence, it's tail detaches and it escapes back into the unknown. Album Tracks 1. Unreliable Translator 2. Nugget 3. Untamed 4. The Regular Impasse 5. Fusilade 6. Indelible Technology 7. Oral Past 8. Devourer 9. Hellatosis 10. Paul Stamet's Mycologist 11. Denouement

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
