Notes

‘Pillows Plumped for the Guests.’ David Grubbs, the avant-garde guitarist and piano player (in Gastr del Sol and other bands), has put together a collaborative record with the Athens-based cellist Nikos Veliotis, the Japanese electronics ace Taku Unami, and the American percussionist-composer Sarah Hennies. As you might expect, none live in the same city—so they emailed files to each other to make this haunted drone-based record … under the name Bitterviper.
