RecommendThe needle-on-the-turntable-is-stuck guitar riff on “Dogs from my childhood:multiple white (for Thomas Hirschhorn)” flows into a tune that segues in rapid fashion from parlor song to trip-hop to outsider meditation in the span of eight minutes. Etre surprise, shock and amaze on every track here. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it was a best of. Tapes loops with dim free jazz percussion, psych-folk clip art, prepared piano and odd vocal improvs; every song carries with it a dedication that may or may not mean anything, though the song for French writer Michel Houllebecq (“Naturalist Tokyo”) has a kind of dark whimsy I’m sure he’d like. This exploration of so many short sounds and genre tor-dipping would seem to make for a claustrophobic mess, but Etre manage to handle each swerve in the road with confidence, and a punk sense of purpose
