AAA by Textile Trio

This one’s a scorcher! Alexandre Bellenger and Arnaud Rivière (of French free-noise brutes Bobby Moo) joyously tear up turntables and jam chunks of metal junk into mixing desks, while trumpeter/percusser Aaron Moore (of Volcano the Bear) propels the raw electronic din with a backbone of hyperactive clatter.

"AAA", the group’s second album (the first, "For the Boss", was published by Beta-Lactam Ring in 2009) catches the group in a particularly feral mood. Far from the polite group-improv snooze perpetrated by folks who hear an AMM record and think “hm, yeah i can do that” (no you can’t), Textile Trio unleash their splatter with both the sensitivity of seasoned composer / improvisers and energetic punk abandon. Textile Trio‘s furious blur lives somewhere between the art / jazz tangle of Un Drame Musical Instantané, Msayuki Takayanagi‘s throat-throttling New Directions Unit, and the live vinyl-scramble of Otomo Yoshihide. Full of life and humanity, "AAA" is delirious, dense, direct, and a pleasure to listen to.

Praise for "AAA":

"This album is punk as fuck and needs to be heard." - Anti-Gravity Bunny

Former label for experimental-type music. Foolishly founded by Howard Stelzer in 1997, mismanaged for more years than necessary, and finally put out of its misery in 2012. This page exists to keep some titles available.
