A Gorgeous Mess

Mothmonsterman

This album feels a little dated now, and Albini's techniques have gotten a little more polished, but this album packs a wallop of strangely addictive, propulsive, almost funky avant-skronk. You can hear the early days of New York no-wave here, as well as the frenetic rush of K.K. Null and Yasuko O's other bands.

Yona-Kit introduces Zeni Geva’s K.K. Null to some of Chicago’s finest musicians: Null fronts a quartet featuring Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, and Thymme Jones (all of Brise-Glace, and various other projects), with Steve Albini producing and Melt-Banana’s Yasuko O. dropping vocals in on “Franken-Bitch” (Melt-Banana have also worked with Albini and O’Rourke). The results aren’t as noisy or abraisive as Zeni Geva, but Null’s influence is felt heavily throughout the buzzy, all-out rock of the recording– even on the closing track, a 23-minute exploration very much in the vein of Brise-Glace, there are broad touches of Null’s signature scratch and grind. – Nitsuh Abebe
