Drop the needle on something wild: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C. serve up a sonic buffet spanning rock, jazz, metal and electronic — covering home video rental, flavored footwear and specialty cakes with a Jerky Boys sense of humor. Mother Raspberry's Lord Prometheus Jon. LXVII ventures further into strange progressive industrial jazz as a time-traveling monarch recruits the world's most famous group across America's political landscape. NLP's Ostara drifts from weightless ambience into head-nodding grooves like spring breaking through winter, while Third Platform layers live breakbeats, Rhodes piano and tape machines into cinematic transmissions from an imagined transit system. Harmolodic Dreamer captures pure improvised acoustic guitar woven with birdsong and wind — no second takes, just artless art.
