Flatlands is a new John Zorn project for rock power trio, in the tradition of Simulacrum, Naked City and Insurrection: twelve short pieces that turn on a dime, built on riffs, atonal melodies, shifting rhythms and virtuoso solos, intense, quirky and ecstatic.
The trio is made of three of Zorn's closest collaborators of recent years: Matt Hollenberg on electric guitar, Simon Hanes on electric bass and Ches Smith on drums. Titles include '69-68', 'Into The Dreamverse', 'Mabinogion', 'Priapus', 'Erotic Hyperbola', 'Almas Perdidas', 'The Blue Circle', 'Slipped Disk' and 'Greywacke'.
Released by Tzadik (CDTZA 9332) in the label's usual CD with obi strip.
