GRDINA'S BOX CUTTER, GORDON - NEW RULES FOR NOISE (CD)

"Box Cutter cuts through stylistic boundaries. The players weave in and out of free-form improvisations, grooves, and lyrical melodic statements with equal enjoyment. The band leaves no stone unturned, making use of every possibility that presents itself. This is a band that loves to improvise. It will make music out of anything: the sound of wind, a chime, a feel, a phrase, a tune... Box Cutter feels equally at home making music out of pure sound and texture as making a soulful melody sing." (label info) Follow-up to Box Cutter's "Unlearn" album from 2006. Gordon Grdina - guitar, Francois Houle - clarinets, Karlis Silins - bass, Kenton Loewen - drums.
