Beautifully lop-sided big-band set from Tori Kudo's idiot-avant orchestra, swollen to include wildman bass clarinetist Arrington de Dionyso (of Owl Sounds et al), guitarist Chris Cohen, synths from Greg Saunier and drums from Andrew Maxwell alongside Tori, Saya, Ueno, Nakazaki, Endo, Akiko, Otani and McCloud Zicmuse. Aspects of everything from The Sun Ra Arkestra, Little Howlin' Wolf and Syd Barrett through Monk, Manson and the Mothers Of Invention. Kudo's arrangements sound like Charles Ives's parallel brass band voicings re-scored for troops of tiny, squawnking toys set to repeat-play sections of The Portsmouth Sinfonia record on low, low batteries while Tori bends six strings into warps of punk zag. Also features an England's Glory (!) cover.

"With raw viola, haunting vocals, and noise guitar, Rob Fisk (Badgerlore, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, ex-Deerhoof) has created an exquisite album that sounds perfectly at home in the natural world between dusk and dawn. Packaged in a hand-sewn book of drawings by Fisk entitled How to Build a Cabin." - YY.
