Coiled/Leave by Extra

Coiled/Leave is the fifth album from Extra, the vibrational communion of America’s beloved heroes Brian Grainger (Milieu, Coppice Halifax) and Howard Stelzer. From beyond the borderlands, they drag two tape sides through the wastes - visceral awake-dreams of tumbling tape mulch, moist modular loam and wordless weird fictions. A monumental analog slab of hallucinogenic heft made for deep-listening exploration… and so on… 


"...there’s a melodic touch to the music, with a kind of piano sound; it’s all quite hazy and vague but moving away from the stricter drone approach, which is still part of the brew here. Dark and highly atmospheric, but not without surprising movements, breaks and shifts, going into something completely different, such as the drum machine on the second side at one point. These breaks provide interruption and change, and as a result, one can’t drift away on this endless drone cloud, which I think is a great thing..."
