Our Take

Terrie Ex and Kaja Draklser's collaboration on "The Swimin" is a delightfully eccentric and genre-defying journey through the depths of avant-garde experimentation. From the first dissonant notes of the opening track, it's clear that these two musicians are not content to play by the rules.

Ex's unconventional guitar work collides with Draklser's haunting piano melodies in a cacophony of sounds that both perplex and mesmerize. The duo's willingness to push boundaries and challenge listeners' expectations is evident throughout the album, as they seamlessly blend elements of free jazz, noise, and avant-garde classical music.

Tracks like "Diving Into the Unknown" showcase Ex's frenetic energy and Draklser's intricate piano playing, creating a dynamic and unpredictable listening experience. Meanwhile, "Ode to the Deep" takes a more introspective turn, with haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation drawing the listener into a trance-like state.

"The Swimin" is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge into the unknown, it offers a rewarding and immersive sonic experience. Terrie Ex and Kaja Draklser may not be household names, but with this album, they prove that true innovation and creativity know no bounds.
