A visceral and texturally rich exploration of free improv from longtime Bay Area collaborators Danishta Rivero (voice, electronics), Kanoko Nishi-Smith (koto), Jacob Felix Heule (bass drum, drum set), and Kyle Bruckmann (English horn, electronics), blending raw acoustic noise, extended techniques, and deep sonic interactions into a dynamic and unpredictable suite of expressive intensity.

The title gives a sense of the unusual acoustic improvisation this West Coast collective perform, along with their description "prickles and bleats, an abrasive delicacy; fricative rasp and withheld breath seethe together in a discomfiting cuddle" — from Kyle Bruckmann on oboe & English horn, Tom Djll on trumpet, Jacob Felix Heule on floor tom, and Kanoko Nishi-Smith on koto.
