Trash Can Lamb

lbi Ambient-glitch-jazz sorcery of the highest, tranquil order. My knees have turned to mush, carry me away.

gthomas All my favorite music lately has been made by Midwesterners or members of the Midwest diaspora. Favorite track: Buzzy on Accelerants.

Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar) That bass sax note is the best against the delicacy of the rest of it. Mint.

Glad there seems to be a bit of a resurgence of glitch / jazz crossover stuff. Happily reminds me of things about 20 years back, but in no sense a throwback or redundant or whatever! Just good times. Favorite track: Shaking off the Ice.

about

“Trash Can Lamb” is a new solo album from Akron, OH-based multi instrumentalist Keith Freund. For the better part of twenty years, Freund has been producing intimate, shape-shifting music on his own and as part of collaborative projects such as Trouble Books, Lemon Quartet, and Aqueduct Ensemble. Here, he concocts a heady, homespun broth of analog synthesis, bit-reduced sampling, piano, standup bass, saxophone, and location recordings, arriving at a loose and evocative set of songs. Throughout the album, we hear 8-bit experimental delays mangling airy acoustic materials, denaturalizing them into primitive loop structures while retaining their golden-hued, melodic cores. The sputters, hisses, and croaks of handmade electronics nuzzle up to wistful piano and saxophone ruminations; the pure pandemonium of chaotic triangle wave patching and filtered noise settles into the serenity of a backyard dusk full of spring peepers (or maybe they’re crickets…). It’s in the space between the ragtag and rough-hewn and the romantic and yearning that Freund situates these compositions; it’s a peek inside a workshop that sits atop the trees, branches scraping on the windows, bluejays who just won’t knock it off, a table fan spinning slower and slower, its cheap blades covered in dust.
