Asthmatic Kitty releases some cool noise:

On Interoceans, I Heart Lung blends first-take methods with Oblique Strategies: carefully composed, meticulously recorded pieces rooted in improvisation, revised and augmented over time. The results are a compelling vision of chaos and beauty as Chris Schlarb’s electric guitar drones and Tom Steck’s free-jazz drumming hold and flutter with shimmering acoustic guitars, soaring pedal steel and beautifully captured field recordings. When Kris Tiner’s trumpet follows Nels Cline‘s electric sitar three minutes into “Interoceans II,” it’s like Don Cherry‘s loving spirit doting on universal music drones.
