Brom & Toshinori Kondo "The Sea is Rough" EP (12",45RPM)
Description
The oddest thing about this record is that it is cut on 45 rpm, so it's rather a 12" maxi-single than an LP. It contains the two parts of 'The Sea Is Rough' and they are quite different. Both pieces were recorded in a single day in March 2019 in Moscow. The first one (I gather around ten minutes long) is, for the most part, a heavy free wailing blast with strong electronic undercurrents, but towards the end shifts back into a melodic touch. The other side also starts chaotic but throughout it seems there is a bit more organization here, and it is easier to follow individual instruments. There is a battle between trumpet and alto sax going on; bass and drums eventually roll out a majestic groove and the two wind instruments find routes through electronic mazes and reach for the sky. This too is probably around ten minutes and I think that is too short. I would not have minded all of this to be longer, or perhaps a different perspective or two and be a full-length album. On a hot day in August this is perhaps quite the drain of energy; or is it the extra kick. I should play it again and find out. (Vital Weekly, FdW)
