Dun-Dun Band - Pita Parka Pt. 1: Xam Egdub [Ansible Editions 007 Promo]

Released on May 3rd, 2k24 via the Canadian Ansible Editions label as their cat.no. 007 is "Pita Parka Pt. 1: Xam Egdub", the first full length vinyl release by the Dun-Dun Band formed by and around Toronto's underground staple that is Craig Dunsmuir. With three extended pieces rolled out over the entire albums total length of 38 minutes we see the somewhat large scale band x ensemble explore an ever meandering, somewhat krautsy sonic landscape driven by tender percussions echoing slow moving tribalisms which are providing the organic backdrop for corresponding, intertwined sax and clarinet lines leading up to a jazzed out climax in the aptly named "No. 1", subsequently followed by "No. 20 (Once Raw The Aging G)" which continues on a similar, yet more easy and probably more traditionally Jazz- x BarJazz-leaning path before providing variation in repetition, harking back to arrangement techniques oftentimes employed in so-called Minimal Music only to suddenly focus on tender, almost Indietronica x PostRock-informed guitars leading into a final sequence of full on Improv x FreeJazz. Furthermore "No. 7 (Nilan)" provides a closure informed by deep, ever meandering EthioJazz-influences and solemn, peaceful late night listening sessions. Intredasting.
