Nous Autres

Released

This summit meeting of avant-garde guitarists features elder statesman Fred Frith alongside young up-and-comer René Lussier, recorded live at a contemporary music festival in Victoriaville, Québec in 1986. From the very first moment, you can tell they’re having a blast: both play with puckish good humor as well as an uncanny ability to improvise structures —sometimes fairly complex ones — collaboratively in real time. There’s a bit of hellacious noise, a bit of straight-ahead rocking out, a bit of drum machine and a bit of tape manipulation. In other words, there’s something here for everyone in the family. Assuming no one in the family minds music that sound like nothing else they’ve ever heard.
