Given the band name and album title, and coming as it does with a starkly declamatory booklet postulating the self-immolation of AI and citing both Situationism and ‘the accelerationist musings of the CCRU’ (look ‘em up!), there are various ways you can take this album but, clearly, ‘entirely seriously’ should not be one of them.

This is a trio of well-respected experimental music names: Isambard Khroustaliov is aka Sam Britton, sound artist and Not Applicable label curator. Alex Bonney and Will Glaser are both producers as well as trumpeter and drummer respectively. Coming together as improvisers, they conjure up carefully shaped electro-acoustic narratives that, while rarely conventional in melodic or rhythmic form, have an accessible elegance.

That strident manifesto and the consciously musique concrete resonances might have been a 1960s pastiche but for Bonney’s fluid trumpet, a continuum throughout most of the music, and the adroitly chosen use of tones by Glaser and Khroustaliov.

Tracks like ‘Goats on Helium’ and ‘The Adiabatic Flux Differentials of the Id’ (honestly!) throw sonic textures through spattering trumpet, staccato scrabbles or wheezing squeaks. Contrastingly, ‘Drinking Songs of the Quaidacabondish’ (me neither!) has a more fluid weaving of wails, whales and possibly Clangers over tin-pot percussion, electronic crunching and distant murmurations. The results are an enjoyable blend of the crazily playful and the musically hyper-literate that just manages to keep a straight face.
