***In the hazy afterburn of the lyrically candid Backward Path (Northern Spy, 2012), words are half-smothered in the molted earth on C.C.D.E. Music. It’s a backyard wedding of Assemblage Blues (Siltbreeze, 2011) and Excerpts & Halfspeeds (Kye, 2012), with LARD FREE and YUZO IWATA on the bride’s flank. The voyage into the sunset of these two involves a roaring mutant chassis and plenty of muddy vistas off the backroads of songform.
