Massacre’s Killing Time (ReR Records, 2016/1981) contains anxious, dissonant proto-math rock composed and improvised by a trio of innovative, idiosyncratic, and influential musicians. Guitarist Fred Frith pulls new dimensions of sound out of his instrument, blending bizarrely textured riffs with dark, noisy atmospheres. Bassist Bill Laswell is one of the great musical collaborators in all of music, bringing together innumerable amazing musicians from all genres to create unique sonic fusions. Together, Bill and drummer Fred Maher lay down some nasty, disjointed grooves that pull you in despite (or because of?) their asymmetric time signatures. According to some notes on the back cover, this recent pressing is released how the album was “originally intended, at the speed and pitch and without added reverb”. This release also includes a one-sided LP with 8 bonus tracks also recorded back in 1980-81. Side note: this is getting me even more stoked to see Fred Frith’s trio this Thursday at @zebulonla 😎🎶 . . . #massacreband #massacre #experimentalrock #mathrock #fredfrith #billlaswell #fredmaher #vinylcollector #recordcollector #vinyladdict #vinylporn #vinyl #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcollection #onmyturntable #recordcollection #cratedigging #nowplaying #nowspinning #nofoodjustwax https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMGkaPgIG-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7vc44039hjd1
