Description
Jesse DeRosa and Josh Millrod have logged years of auditory exploration as fixtures of the New York avant improv scene as the duo Grasshopper, as solo performers, and as members of Hex Breaker Quintet. Grasshopper's multi-instrumental sessions of overwhelming synth drone and feedback-soaked noise are animated by the howling voices of their live trumpet performances. On Dark Sabbath: Symbols of Evil, the duo pushes their uncompromising live assault to new heights of doom-worshipping heaviness and tonal abstraction. Channeling their classically trained chops and underground-honed improv sensibilities into the darkest sessions we've heard from them to date, Grasshopper sketches out a unique strain of electro-acoustic performance ripped to shreds in a tug-of-war between the contemporary classical, DIY noise, and free-jazz traditions.
