Watch Sergio Subero’s video for a track from the prolific experimental guitarists' debut duo recording
“The track “Braintrust Of Fiends And Werewolves” to me feels like an improvised piece of pop music,” says New York based guitarist and author David Grubbs, describing the title track from his new album with his latest collaborator; Buenos Aires musician, Reynols member, and workshop facilitator Alan Courtis.
“Everything on the album was improvised in the studio, and one of the things I like about it is that Alan and I were both relaxed, unhurried, willing to let things take their time to develop, and not being too quick about settling on an ending for a given piece. “Braintrust” is the outlier in that it just emerged fully formed, with its own distinctive rhythmic character (Alan playing a pattern that kept shifting beneath my feet) and from my fingers came a melodic hook that needed no tinkering. It’s the shortest track on the record; it bursts on the scene, says what it wants to say, and then unceremoniously takes its leave.”
The track's accompanying video features black and white Super 8 footage by Argentinian director Sergio Subero.
Braintrust Of Fiends And Werewolves is released by Husky Pants.
