Shearwater Records is pleased to announce the third in a series of weekly – more or less – releases in their virtual seven inch “OCF” series.
Live At The Chamber Of Commerce: OCF 03
An eccentric and mystifying chunk of electro-acoustic oddness from Scandinavia. Apparently these two tracks are excerpts from the same gallery performance in Oslo by a group who barely knew each other, sometime in the early 2000’s – although to be honest, it could be any city with a decent art school in the last forty years. But what do you expect from a band who apparently take their name from a little-known Nam June Paik piece? And in fact a Fluxus, Cagean air permeates the whole affair. A soprano mutters away in one corner, heavily treated wind instruments are abused, other random instruments are stroked or plucked, and then suddenly, half way through the second side, the most edifying outsider/Krautrock drumming I’ve heard kicks a groove in and draws it all together so that it slithers, Ouroboros like, up its own asshole, only to reappear suddenly from an entirely different orifice. Coleyisms abound as a result… It’s really very good. And strange. And good.
