On Fillmore - Inferno

LIMITED LAVA MARBLES COLOUR VINYL

Glenn Kotche and Darin Gray re-connect as On Fillmore for their new album Inferno, out on We Jazz Records sister label Other Power December 11th. Best described as acoustic doom music and, as Jim O'Rourke once put it, "the rhythm section's revenge", Kotche on drums and Gray on bass are no strangers to followers of adventurous music. Kotche is known as the drummer of Wilco and from his solo work, Gray most recently as member of the avantgarde jazz outfit Hatka, and previously from Brise Glacé, Grand Ulena, Akira Sakata & Chikamorachi, and more. Inferno is the final third of On Fillmore’s love-letter-to-Brazil trilogy which began with Extended Vacation (Dead Oceans, 2009), and followed with Happiness of Living (Northern Spy, 2017). Darker in tone than On Fillmore’s previous five albums, Inferno feels like a fever dream.

On Inferno, On Fillmore get loose to deliver a dense, heat seeking, hallucinatory trip down a river, with an epic, heart of darkness, destination. Bubbling. Brooding. Simmering. Boiling. Floating. Hovering. This is "bass and drums", but it's also not. Is it a bunch of instruments, way more than two? Or just one? Maybe a single large non-electronic machine operated by two musicians, pulling together. Whatever it is, it's beyond instrumentation and it's out to roll over us with one giant (and sometimes terrifying) hug of sound.
