A couple years back, Nate Wooley released The Seven Storey Mountain with David Grubbs (Gastr del Sol, Squirrel Bait) and improv extraordinaire Paul Lytton. TMT reviewer Elliott Sharp gave it 4/5. This year, our mammoth trumpeter returns with the same idea — “tape manipulation, long forms with simple written musical directions, an attempt to reach some sort of musical ecstaticism” — but performed with different artists: none other than bald-headed beauty Chris Corsano on drums and C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) on violin. The album is due June 28 on Important. Check out an excerpt of the album streaming above.
