Dubbed out found sounds mix with rearranged post-punk, Spanish multi-reed horn acrobatics from the early 20th century and cut-up instructional language tapes..to describe only a couple of tracks on this mind scrambling, genre busting tour de force.

Details:
'Root' is Borful's first official album release on Earth. He combines sounds from all over the planet mixed and mashed into a personal style that is uniquely his own.

Coined by one critic as 'humanistic plunderphonics' Borful samples freely from all sources: translators from learning language tapes are cut up and thrown into conversation accompanied by experimental electronic sackbut, the entire back catalog of NOMEANSNO is chopped up and remerged into one track as a thunderous tribute, early 20 th century Spanish multi-reed acrobatics are mixed with 70s era New York City free jazz and military drumming...all of this done in a style that is both lyrical and challenging. Borful seeks to reformulate the sounds that he captures in a way that preserves their soul and in their combination, projects his own.
