Arms Drums by Rad Spurts
Blending the bone-rattling fuzz of Lightning Bolt with the sonic endurance of Oneida, Rad Spurts is the vehicle of Brighton-based guitarist Todd Jordan (Negative Pegasus, Arcimago).
Beginning with the 2022 album Rain Sounds, in which a randomised algorithm warped improvised riffing into cubist chunks of static, this latest offering release pushes the project further into unexplored terrain.
Featuring collaborations with members of The Library Is On Fire, Help She Can't Swim, Speak Galactic and more, each musician recorded in total isolation. The end result was then reinterpreted by machine into a chaotic noise rock epic recalling Oren Ambarchi by way of Snapped Ankles.
