JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

“The core duo of Peter Kerlin and Rob Smith continues to concoct oddly rhythmed but intoxicating reveries, but this time adds pipe organist Curt Syndor to the sinuous mix,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7986623...

at @mamatriedbk.bsky.social, jams with the BQE including a quite noisy little black egg (georgia on ebow guitar, ira running miked BQE through pedals), @fretlesspeter.bsky.social (subbing for kid millions, mixing the BQE & 8-string bass), geologist (bowed & processed guqin at full rumble), & others.

🙏 Thanks Dave. Yes! Be ungoogleable! ✊ 😉
Finally getting around to checking out—and really digging—the new one from @ejrc.bsky.social label-mates (and old pals @fretlesspeter.bsky.social & Rob Smith), Animal, Surrender! If you Google the name without adding "band," you'll also get a lot of local humane society info that may be relevant:
A Boot For Every Bane, by Animal, Surrender!

Not sure how many eight-string bass / pipe organ / drums trios there are out there, but I’m going to go ahead and declare the Brooklyn-based Animal, Surrender! as the very best of them all.

Had a great time chatting w @jefito.com from @harmonic.fm the other day. 🙏
You don't hear many albums that feature the eight-string bass as a lead instrument, and fewer still that incorporate the mighty hum of the pipe organ. @jefito.com interviewed Peter Kerlin of Animal, Surrender!, discussing their new album (available tomorrow) and creating art honestly.

i've been dreaming of a pedal steel led jamming band for so long that i think at first i may've been a tad suspicious of the barry walker unit (the rose city band reconfigured), but this is some deep, gorgeous improv & i'm happy to be in their dream instead.
