John Zorns newest project is a hardcore song cycle scored for voice, bass and drums. This powerful rock unit features three of his most illustrious, longtime cohorts who have worked together in bands such as Naked City, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle and Electric Masada and are keenly in tune with Zorns language and aesthetic. Musicians are always at their best in Zorn projects and Moonchild is no exception. You have never heard these players as up front, on the edge or as inspired as they are here, raging through eleven pieces of terrifying intensity. Drawing on preverbal language and the primal power of rock music, this is Torture Garden with an alchemical twistspontaneous, complex and evocative. Eleven new Zorn compositions executed with a ritualistic passion that will take your breath away.
"Moonchild" is the first realization of a project combining composition and improvisation in a rock format-- Zorn communicated his compositions and ideas orally to the trio-- vocalist Mike Patton, bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Joey Baron. The resulting record is one of deep tension and highly evocative mood, somewhat like a fusion of "Torture Garden" or "Leng T'che" and "I.A.O.".
"I'm not sure how it happens. In college I was checking out Artaud, Crowley and Varese and now here I am, many, many years later, recording music inspired by those same freaks. I would couple this release with the Melvins CD partly because I play electric and use distortion pretty much throughout. There is something very weird going on here and I have yet to fully understand it. "
(.... Trevor Dunn)

Luke Lukas is back with an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
"Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel."Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine
