Hal Lambert and Mitchell Mobley — The A – Z of Bullshit (Island House)

Hal Lambert and Mitchell Mobley unleash the long drones on this third full-length collaboration (the first two came out on Lambert’s own label Tentative Spring). The two musicians come from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which seems like an unlikely hub for experimental music, but there you go. Lambert is primarily a guitarist, though he also plays some banjo, while Mobley is mostly a drummer.

When you say it like that—extended improvised drones on guitar and drums—you might naturally think of 75 Dollar Bill, but the music sounds only tangentially similar. Where 75 Dollar Bill dives into deep African cadences, Lambert and Mobley seem more interested in mind-bent country forms. “Emmy Lou,” is blues-based in the most down-home and American of ways, before it blasts off into the stratosphere. There’s nothing desert-ish about it. And where 75 Dollar Bill stretches out its sound with rough cut bowed tones, these two lace their jangling, rattling interplay with organ drones. The drums are different, too, Mobley’s crisper and more antic than Brown’s resounding box thumps. He skitters over the smoke-hazed tones of “Cross the Lazy River” on martial snare cadences, like a marching band percussionist gone transcendental.  

Lambert is known for playing his guitar in non-traditional ways, using screwdrivers and other odd implements to re-imagine the instrument’s sounds. “Lines in the Dream House Bathroom” seems like it might exemplify that unboxed-in approach; it harnesses feedback the way a chariot driver keeps his horses in line, driving it, whipping it, urging it forward. The drums here are especially visceral too, thwacking hard to punch through the wall of sound.

My favorite, cut, however, comes last in the serrated glory of “Honey Yogurt,” which is, by far, the most rock track on the album. It bashes and lurches and tramples everything in its way, a fuzzy cataclysm worthy of Crazy Horse. It’s not especially experimental sounding, just loud and thrilling and visceral. For a duo that has just spent 45 minutes deconstructing guitar music, it seems almost conventional (but great, did I also say great?) Maybe you have to turn guitar music inside out to understand it.

probably one of my favorite live versions of supermassive black hole tbh

getting to see all three of them playing at even intervals on screen is like a breath of fresh air

also pretty cool that this gig was the first time Hyper Music was played in full in America (by fan request hehe)

Los Angeles Mayan Theatre 2015

I know @sunburnacoustic also mentioned Mayan 2015 as a stunning gig performance overall and I 100% agree

Paths That Open Frequencies was recorded during the time of October 2022 to late January of 2023.

The name comes from a variety of different meanings. One could say it comes from experimenting with patch techniques in which you are on the hunt to find new sounds or frequencies . Which ever output to input you choose leads to new undiscovered sounds and accidents.

Another meaning could mean that when out doing field recordings exploring different paths could lead to unexpected discoveries of interesting objects that generate sounds useful for sound design and music concrete.

The list goes on and its up to anyone to open these paths to explore new frequencies never heard or felt before.

One final thought, if you're looking at Ukraine and you're saying "yeah, I feel bad for them, but I'm more worried about China", well... I do agree with you that the idea of China attacking Taiwan is horrific and real thing to be concerned about given the rhetoric China uses around Taiwan

However, all I have to say is that how we handle Ukraine will likely strongly factor in to China's thinking around anything to do with Taiwan

The parallels are blatant, and there's no way they aren't watching

I argue to you that the stronger our support for Ukraine is, the more painful this ends up being for russia so long as they refuse to withdraw; that the stronger the deterrence to China to engage in something that's really similar to what russia's doing in Ukraine

I argue to you that one of the best ways to deal with China and support Taiwan, is for us to support Ukraine

A Ukrainian victory supports a more stable world
