about

We are incredibly excited to present the debut release “Odd Hits” from the duo Rankin-Parker/Pearce.

You may remember Teddy Rankin-Parker & Daniel Pearce as half of the quartet Broken Trap Ensemble whose 2014 Astral Spirits release “Upes” was an exciting foray into free improv. “Odd Hits” finds Rankin-Parker/Pearce doing more with less as this cello/drums duet explores both song based form & more abstract sound worlds sitting comfortably next to each other. Think Arthur Russell meets Neu! meets free improv. “Fast Clip” builds an intense polyrhythmic groove out of Pearce’s syncopated drums and Rankin-Parker’s use of extended technique on the cello. “Motorik” is just that, locking into a steady internal pulse, while “Low Battery” sounds as if they are lost at sea floating uneasily, cello & drums creating sounds that wouldn’t be out of place on a electronic record.

The energy contained within each of these tracks was just what I was looking for although I couldn’t possibly have known that until I found it! Exhilarating, exciting and enthralling! Jimmy Wunts

Spotless new collection of moondog inspired tunes. The music is melodic and searching, the band perfectly balanced. Lyrical, layered and crowned by a soulful 'Pastoral'. Peluche Brutale

I don't just love this album, its almost certainly in my Top 10 albums of all time (like those other 200 or so corkers lol) but this is splendid. Free jazz jams slowly coalescing into the heaviest grooves this side of the Sunn(()), just mind-blowing head candy. Wish I owned the cassette!! :( Monkton Wylde
