Label: Swim Ignorant Fire
Released 11/11/2022
Loops of African Juju Witchcraft Dance, Chants from India, and percussive record grooves swirl together once again on a SP202 to form the new album Ancestral Motion. Where Bufo Alvarius was an esoteric diary of one man’s adventure through uncharted territory, Ancestral Motion metamorphoses further into a mystical conflict of light and dark. With a new group of travelers, polyrhythmia, pedal steel, bass clarinet, and lo-fi tropical magic guide the listener from warm sanctuaries of illumination to the adversarial pitch-darkness. Yea Big - Bass Clarinet, Ian Sheridan - Drums, Adam Pressley - Guitar, Nate Hahn - Pedal Steel. Ancestral Motion gives life to a rare fusion of tropical world music and improv jazz. Originally released on CD through Shimmering Moods, It is now available on cassette independently. FFO: Bitchin Bajas, Lawrence English, MuslimGauze, Golden Retriever, Paul Simon
