Getting the Nod heard on a couple of avant records that we really liked earlier this year which were the Mitchell and Gentile epic Snark Horse and William Parker treat Mayan Space Station 'Sun Gun' is essential from Ava Mendoza drawn from New Spells. The album is released on 26 November. Written by the Miami-born electric guitarist there's a great woozy heavy clout to the piece, complete with bluesy extravagant reverb and a droney intensity to it all. It's nothing less than a solo guitar tour de force. Other pieces on the album are written by Devin Hoff, the Zornian Trevor Dunn and John Dikeman. Cum on feel the noize. You'll get wild, wild, wild.
