Our Take

MERZBOW / MATS GUSTAFSSON / BALAZS PANDI - "Cuts Open"

If you've ever wondered what it would sound like if a blender, a saxophone, and a drum kit got into a heated argument at a punk rock show, look no further than MERZBOW / MATS GUSTAFSSON / BALAZS PANDI's latest collaborative effort, "Cuts Open." This album is like a sonic explosion of avant-garde chaos, a cacophony of noise that somehow manages to be both overwhelming and hypnotic at the same time.

From the moment you press play, you're immediately thrown into a whirlwind of distorted electronic screeches, aggressive saxophone wails, and pounding, relentless drums. It's like being trapped in a nightmare where you're being chased by a swarm of angry bees while a jazz band plays in the background.

But somehow, amidst all the chaos and madness, there's a strange beauty to be found in the dissonance. It's as if MERZBOW, GUSTAFSSON, and PANDI are speaking a language that only they understand, and they're inviting you to join them in their twisted, otherworldly universe.

"Cuts Open" is not for the faint of heart. It's abrasive, challenging, and at times downright terrifying. But if you're willing to take the plunge into the sonic abyss, you might just find yourself coming out the other side with a newfound appreciation for the weird and wonderful world of experimental music.
