Karl Sanders: Saurian Exorcisms
It’s an incredible week for music, led by a beautiful acoustic release of Arabic flavors and Western structures from Nile linchpin Karl Sanders.
The rest of our picks are just as special, including the epic endtime ballads of Crippled Black Phoenix, the Mulatu Astatke / Heliocentrics collaboration, new discs by Prefuse 73 and Agoraphobic Nosebleed, the debut of Two Fingers (Amon Tobin and Doubleclick), and the soundtrack to Dengue Fever’s documentary.

The long-rumored Faith No More reunion has been confirmed (!!!). Vocal heavyweight Mike Patton keeps busy with a feature-film soundtrack, MF Doom drops half his name and a new album, Dengue Fever provides accompaniment to The Lost World, hip-hop duo Themselves returns, and much more. (more…)
The Sword
Our plans this weekend include local shows with the massive stoner metal of The Sword, the experimental jazz of the Umbrella Music Festival, and the raw alt-country of O’death.
And our friends in Austin have another great festival of their own, as the Fun Fun Fun Fest run on Saturday and Sunday.
