Bassist JOSHUA ABRAMS has performed with TORTOISE and GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, as well as with NICOLE MITCHELL, MIKE REED, FRED ANDERSON, BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY, JANDEK, and DAVID GRUBBS. Abandoning the electrification that once characterized his work, JOSHUA ABRAMS, though influenced by jazz, minimalism, experimental music, krautrock, and psychedelia, has once again reformed his NATURAL INFORMATION SOCIETY around the guimbri (the Gnawa lute) into an acoustic quartet that invites immersive and hypnotic listening. Here, a single 74'43" piece recorded at London's Café OTO. With EVAN PARKER improvising on soprano saxophone, an echo of JOHN COLTRANE's India haunts the listening experience. A sumptuous edition.
