A brutal often exhilarating ride here from a powerful avant trio that on principle refuses to hold back but yet finds plenty to say in what is very often a rollercoaster of a journey. Alto saxophonist Angelika Niescier cooks with the kind of molten energy you find on a Matana Roberts record while the combination here with cellist Tomeka Reid allows new possibilities tonally. Drummer Savannah Harris provides a lot of free wheeling direction and yet there is lots of control from the kit on a track like 'Risse' that goes inside/outside from a position of tight control to navigate a freer space. Playing Niescier's compositions there's a ruggedness and sense of marauding spirit you just can't fake.
