KWISP-TERIYAKI VEST ODYSSEY, CD, 2003, USA
This squirrely San Francisco experimental outfit notably features one Cork Marcheschi, the electronic maestro from the pioneering San Fran experimental psych group Fifty Foot Hose, whose work during the 60's mirrored similar exploits by United States Of America, Silver Apples and The Spoils Of War, a fact which should hopefully be enough of an ear cocker to get you past the unfortunate album title here. Kwisp's outlandish sonic palette is almost solely comprised of self built/invented instruments (electronic and otherwise) from which they prise comically slinky and oleaginous detritus that they array into brilliant absurdist provisional assemblages that often nod in the direction of Nurse With Wound. A real discovery.
