XLR8R

Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground Duo/Trio, Isotope 217) teams up with Brazilian drummer/trumpeter/programmer Mauricio Takara (from the jazzy instrumental rock band Hurtmold) for this noisy, experimental project. The title track doesn't divulge the duo's post-rock leanings, but they're slightly hinted at on the "Afrobeat-fueled Afrihouse" and "Pombaral," telling pieces of this landscape soundtrack that translate the sounds of the tumultuous metropolis into music.
