Jackie O Motherfucker

Tom Greenwood's experimental folk/noise/improv outfit changes depending on who's in it, so you never know exactly what to expect when you put a new one on the player. Earth Sound System is quite a lot mellower than the last one I spent time with (Freedom Land), shading into the Appalachian shadowiness of bands like MV+EE and Sunburned Hand in spots, but turning a good bit more experimental and prickly on the two long raga tracks ("Raga Joining" and "Raga Separating"). It's all pretty great, though...

This time out, Greenwood is working with two of the guys from Eternal Tapestry, Nick and Jed Bindeman on guitar and drums, as well as Brian Mumford on guitars and home-made electronics.

Here's "In the Willows"
