Multi-instrumentalists Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich are almost done with their week day album series. For the penultimate one, Saturday, they decided to go long with a sprawling extravaganza, consisting of 14 parts starring off-beat characters like Cousin Waffleboat and a stoner named Benge Deltondo. Anything was allowed to happen in telling this wordless story wherein normal rules no longer apply, the very fabric of civilization comes apart at the seams, and being a billionaire has become meaningless.
The freaky free jazz sits comfortably next to ringing guitar interludes, loops go wild after a couple of repeats and there is no Hollywood ending in this dense fabric over stacked layers. Both musicians must have been grinning like Cheshire cats when they decided to give the track another pass to find space to even more shards of noise. Exhausting and exhilarating stuff that makes listening to Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica a walk in the park.
Saturday is released on Titicacaman Records.
