Mats Gustafsson & Yoshimi
Words On The Floor
Smalltown Superjazz STSJ-114
CD
£10.99
Duo set from eviscerating European free-punk saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and Yoshimi of The Boredoms with a great avant-prog feel that is somewhere between Joan La Barbara, Univers Zero, Jeanne Lee/Jimmy Lyons and those early Amy Sheffer discs. Which means it works a whole other form of subtle magic than you might expect from the previous lung-feats of these too. Not to say that at points they don't tear each other heads off and dribble down their throats. It's just that between there and here there's a whole lot of evocative mystery that is pitched towards the more liminal vectors of your brain, resulting in long passages of sustained, barely-there eeriness. Which is more than great. Gustafsson plays slide sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, alto fluteophone and electronics, Yoshimi plays voice and electronics.
