Alan Bishop from Sun City Girls is in this, so you know it's gonna be Weird. And Weird it is, with lots of bizarre tunings and rhythms. The album linked in the article (Rats Don't Eat Synthesizers) is 2 songs, the first of which is 12 minutes long and the other clocking in at a whopping 22 minutes. If you liked Sun City Girls you should check this out! If not, maybe try their previous album Bes, as it seems a little more.. traditional.
Favorite line from the article:

This would be known as free-funk a minor "genre" started by none-other than Ornette Coleman (albeit, with cool world influences).
Great share!
