Experimental Rockers Yoo Doo Right (Montréal, QC) team up with multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, Nolan Potter (Austin, TX), and Psychedelic Rock trio Population II (Montréal, QC) to record a one-of-a-kind long-player meshing elements from Krautrock, Free Jazz, and Noise. The album was an impromptu meeting of like minds, recorded during a two-hour session in one small room. The music occurred organically and of its own volition. A must-listen for fans of Can, Acid Mothers Temple, Gong, etcetera.
“We recorded this during the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Yoo Doo Right and Population II had a short break between shows and I invited them to the studio to see what would happen. With the help of a great engineer, we tracked about 90 minutes of music with one quick intermission. 90% of what you hear on the record is improvised. My recollection is that there was a serious energy in the room, everyone played with extreme intention and determination. Some of the track titles are based on the expeditions of a French explorer from a time before North America had borders, whose journey ended in mutiny. Making this record was an exploration for us too, but we’re much more pleased with the results.” – Nolan Potter
