about

hi-fi lo-iq may be proof of concept, but bookers itself is not an exercise.

bookers is not self-expression, unless itching your leg or screaming in a mirror is self-expression.

bookers may be humorous, but only in the way watching a person drink milk when they expect orange juice is humorous or watching a man gravely injure himself is humorous.

the bookers practice is a sound methodology in every sense, including the water one. bookers is simple, intuitive music from connecticut for all to enjoy.

Huzzah!

Straight from the depths of the interwoven machinations of innermost thoughts non-foreign to only the weakest of minds comes the proverb known henceforth as “the digs are real”

The jam masters themselves, each known to many as groove shifters and diggers, shovels, lamp-poles, light-posts, forks, and Dr Cisco33 (The Second). A man is only as good as the food he eats and these three eat (chow down) pretty darn well.

Andrew and the Kitchen Sink sing from the heavens not census heard since Lincoln was president. All the culminated frequencies of participatory emmaculatory [sic] movements bring forth nonidle worship that can be thought of as the sounds of someone like Charles Grandison Finney or Francis Asbury, Gxd rest their souls.

A tear, maybe two for those who cannot hear this record I shed while listening. Bells ringing like Bucharest (think Romania for that one) breaking Orthodox methods of musical gradation and culmination.

Absurd nature of music not solely. No reveling around the fire over the destruction of art. RATHER three young individuals making a statue in the church of our future with me holding my son crying.

Katyusha
by Martín Escalante / Teté Leguía / Weasel Walter

supported by 6 fans who also own “HI-FI LO-IQ”

"Totalitarian, maximalist torrent of free improvisation, an explosively intense expression of Free Jazz, a wordless primal scream dialed to 11 and vibrating with humming radioactive power. Delicacy and intonation wither like prone digits in a subzero torrent." https://gonzokaraoke.wordpress.com/2024/02/04/martin-escalante-tete-leguia-weasel-walter-katyusha/ Blastbeat Junkie

Anarchism as a program. Dissonance and melody in a lively conversation, where no one has the main say, but yet everyone communicates what is important. Although mostly acoustic instruments are represented here, it's a lot of heavy and raw music. The power of the collective. jiristepan

Amazing album! Such high energy avant guard jazz. Great interplay between the musicians and Mette’s solo in the beginning of track 2 is mind blowing. So many different sounds. Really great. torzano
