Here at Noisey HQ, we can’t get enough of the rad slabs unleashed by the Ohio-based New Atlantis Records, owned and operated by one-man-show Edward Ricart, also of punk-prog terrorizers, Hyrrokkin. From apocalyptic banjo slayer Brandon Seabrook to the serious heft of Philly’s neo-political noise-rockers Split Red, NA has got its shit together. But Ricart isn’t all about the avant-rockin’; he also has his finger on the free jazz pulse. That free-improv beast is hit on in a deep way on the recently-dropped punk-jazz sprawl, Luddite. On a whim, Brit sax titan Paul Dunmall—in town for a jazz festival—set up an impromptu jam sesh with Brooklyn noisenik mainstays, drummer Andrew Barker (of Gold Sparkle Band) and Child Abuse and Lydia Lunch Retrovirus bassist Tim Dahl, and thus Luddite’s raging skronk-fest was spawned.The trio’s spiritual noise vibes are in full throttle on the sinister bow-on-strings screeching, percussion-clattering and menacing horn-blows of “Spells,” an eight-minute-plus sonic voyage that has an equally creepy David Lynchian video to match. Because we dare not venture a guess on what the hell is going on in “Spells,” we decided to reach out to the director, Dylan Pecora, for the scoop on the plot. Not surprisingly, Pecora’s résumé includes prop design for horror films.Says Pecora: “The style of dialogue, i.e. the loose & hazy recollection of an unseen event, is inspired by the transcriptions of hypnotic regression sessions performed by David M. Jacobs in his book “Secret Life: Firsthand Documented Accounts of UFO Abductions.” That being said, this is most assuredly not about UFOs. It's about South Jersey. Also of note, our narrator is portrayed by Vosco Adams of Philly hardcore legends, RUIN…”Alrighty, then. Dude is out there and so is this video. Check it.
