VINYL FORMAT. Drummer and visionary multi-instrumentalist Kane was a founding member of No Wave behemoth Swans, then the percussive thunder behind the minimalist ensembles of La Monte Young and the guitar armies of Rhys Chatham. Underlying it all is Kane's complete immersion in the blues. His second release is a masterpiece of raw, ass-thumping Americana. He lunges at breakneck boogies and tom-driven swamp stomps with equal abandon. Forget about The Black Keys; forget about The White Stripes. Merging hip-shake rhythm and lustrous harmonic bliss, Jonathan Kane is single-handedly reinvigorating the blues for the 21st century. "Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Steve Reich. Interested in the crossroads of new music iconoclasm and experimental rock, he has a drummer's sense of steady dynamic development and an unapologetic love of noise. Virtuosic" - NY Times.
