Brovold, Bill - Superstar (CDR)
SKU
BBro SS
You know Bill as the leader of Larval. This is, apparently, a release of things recorded some years ago, as it was recorded in Detroit, and Bill left Detroit 15 years ago!
And many of the old Larval’s appear here as well.
Bill Brovold: Home-mades, Guitar, Lap Steel, Drums/Percussion, Bass, Piano, Casio Keys, Organ & Bells with Mark Ormerod, Kurt Zimmerman, Marko Smith, Bob Hecker, Gregg Courtney, Luis Resto, James Ilgenfritz III, Johnny Evans, Gustav Brovold & Lucas Macauley.
“...a series of instrumental pieces—not quite jams, but some not quite compositions either—that veer from circus-like ("Coney Island") to dreamy ("Growth of the Soil"), from organ skronk ("Kid with the Flu") to guitar sweetness ("The Long Walk"). It's always interesting, if occasionally vexing. When Brovold, a Rhys Chatham mate, joins with horns (supplied by Johnny Evans and Gustav Brovold) on the nearly 10-minute, suite-like "Absent Friends," the effect is lovely in a meditative yet barrelhouse free jazz way.”-Chronogram
