Last Days at Hot Slit

This is the third release by Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Trio Convulsant, various with John Zorn) and Kevin Rutmanis (Tomahawk, Melvins, Cows, Hepa/Titus). On this outing Trevor joins Lords and Lady Kevin (duo of Kevin Rutmanis and drummer/artist Gina Skwoz) for a full-length LP Last Days at Hot Slit.

Songs are loosely based on assorted gospel, blues, and jazz songs, some original, some covers. Included is a re-working of Mingus "Devil Woman". The trio based the pieces on improvisations that were then arranged and used to build free-standing songs. A multitude of instruments were exploited by all those involved to create a sizzling blend of aural delicacies.

The album title is from a collection by writer Andrea Dworkin, often cited as the Celine of feminism. Less outre perhaps than their previous recordings, these songs hover somewhere between soundtrack-like excursions, to jazz/blues mutations, to a demented "rock" sounding affair. Something for everybody, or perhaps, nobody!
