LYSINE (You Bred Raptors?, 2023)
In the interest of full disclosure, the trio's cellist and co-composer is a good friend of mine but I'd extoll the virtues of this regardless: harkening back to the glory days of The Dirty Three and infused with just the right amount of that something something (metal funk? glockenspiel metal?) that elevates it beyond and unapologetically into its own character. A hell of an album – congrats, all.
