When Norwegian composer John Kaada and avant-everyman (and Neverman) Mike Patton hooked up in 2004, we were amazed in a good way by their album Romances. Accordingly, loins should be girded for the return of the duo when they release their next effort Bacteria Cult on April 1 via Ipecac Recordings.
Word of warning: Patton describes the orchestral album as “harmonically dense and delicious.”
Further word of warning: Kaada says that this work came about with access to a full orchestra and existing in the “twilight zone where spooky and seductive meet.”
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
