Sounds Like
Nothing you've heard before. No rehearsal ever takes place, no discussion beforehand. Communal silence for unspecified time then a natural and organic process begins.
Each band member plays across the other creating a complex, but not dissonant, polyrythmic collage of sound, dropping in and out of each other.
Sometimes it's like they are attempting to solve some kind of sonic puzzle or equation. It may take 20 mins, it may take over an hour but it's the journey, not the arriving, that makes it all worth while.
Hopefully, the administrators of My Space will get the music player ting sorted soon, then you can hear what i mean.
