about

The MENDOZA/PETIT/GUTHRIE trio has developed a rhythmic improvising language that draws equally from rock, jazz and noise. They use short, concise written pieces as springboards for improvisation, with the goals of milking as much as possible out of as little composed material as possible. Their improvising is focused on looped phrases, repetition and polyrhythmic playing as well as linear, soloistic playing.

"An excellent instrumental 7-inch from the trio of Ava Mendoza on guitar, Maxime Petit on bass and Will Guthrie on drums, recording in the studio in France, four rocking pieces showing the band's chops, quirky asides, and aggressive yet clean playing style."
- Squidco

“Clattering jams that have elements of postpunk, garage rock, and Sonny Sharrock-esque noise-fusion.”- Burning Ambulance
