about

Originally released on limited edition cassette by Sploosh Records:

splooshrecords.bandcamp.com/album/break-your-eyes

Tiny Mix Tapes: "Meek (electonics) and Shiroishi (sax) flutter and lurch together marvelously. Even when it hits a pregnant pause eight minutes in to then embark on a litany of frayed, static-sodden false starts, the duo compellingly, intrinsically converses. Though the instrumentation differs, this somewhat resembles Meek’s record with an all-oscilating Bruce Russell. Their Classical Music was tense, low-boil noise for those who don’t bore easy. Break Your Eyes is similarly roomfunk meditative and murky. Even when the players properly attack their instruments, their compressed fidelity evokes a close-mic’d recording of agitated house flies zipping and bumping around a tight enclosure. And when Meek starts sawing at his violin for the concluding “Chewing Glass” section against Shiroishi’s moan-to-gasp soloing, that stressed gate finally pips out to our silence like a skittish Henry Flynt."
