Concentric

Better known as purveyors of quirky, semi-sleazy avant pop gems on their Sub Pop albums, Jennifer Gentle and their leader Marco Fasolo have also issued a series of weirder releases (mostly through Italian label A Silent Place) that run the gamut from out-there psychedelic rock to "crunching and hefty slabs of tripped out musique concrète worthy of Joji Yuasa, Kunihara Akayima, or one of their equivalent early '60s greats," as Julian Cope eloquently put it. Concentric is the last of these, and is also their bleakest, most uncompromising, and best "experimental" album to date.
