about

Following "Alone We Are Alone As Far Down As the Sediment," last year's collaboration with N.R. Safi, the duo of guitarist Tashi Dorji and drummer Thom Nguyen return to Radio Khiyaban with "At House Unamerican," an explosive collective improv set with guitarist Efrim Manuel Menuck (Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra, et al) cut in MANAS' hometown of Asheville, North Carolina during the duo's 2022 tour with Godspeed.

More than anything, "At House Unamerican" calls to mind Masayuki Takanayagi's legendary "mass projections" - a series of sonic molotov cocktails setting whole streets aflame with incendiary guitar shred, landsliding drums, and crackling sheets of sound. In fact, looking back through Menuck's kaleidoscopic career this might actually be the most liberated we have heard him as a guitar player - and that furious sense of freedom finds welcome kin in Nguyen and Dorji's own expansive creative visions. These recent collaborations certainly have us salivating for the long-awaited follow-up to the duo's last studio album, 2017's III.

Though best consumed as an uninterrupted whole, this piece has had to be split into three sections due to Bandcamp's track length constraints (the music remains complete across each side of the cassette version of the album).

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen! Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips
