Bill Orcutt, who wrote one of our favorite albums of 2011, who recently released a now-sold-out cassette titled Why Does Everybody Love Free Music But Nobody Loves Free People?, and who time-stretched a one-second sample of Adris Hoyos’ voice into an hour-long piece for Harry Pussy’s final album (which sees reissue via Editions Mego August 28), has reinterpreted “The Star-Spangled Banner.” It’s great. And well-timed.
