Details:
Ahleuchatistas are from Asheville, North Carolina. They are Shane Perlowin on guitar, Derek Poteat on bass, and Ryan Oslance on drums. The music is altered harmonic splatter, melodic angularity and impressionistic textures, a polyrhythmic firestorm of percussive assaults. Incredibly tight through-composed songs veer rapidly through unexpected twists and turns, memorable themes, and lush colorful pulses.

They have released two albums on Cuneiform Records, and one album on John Zornâs Tzadik label.
Ahleuchatistas continue to defy the conventions of the trio format as they release album after album of forward thinking progressive punk jazz whatchamacallit and further expand and hone their improvisational strategies.

âThe trio conveys remarkable depth, while often countering pre-conceived expectations.â â All About Jazz

âAnd while Ahleuchatistas could be grouped in with punk or with metal or with some sort of avant-jazz, they arenât exactly any of those things. They are simply a tight three-piece making their own noise and cranking out great albums nearly every year.â â Pop Matters

âItâs a world away from the all or nothing monochrome of lesser acts.â â The Wire: Adventures in Modern Music

âThe bandâs compositions range from tightly coiled agit-punk to stretched, labyrinthine epics that turn on a dime and frequently veer into sharp dissonance or unexpectedly lacerating detoursâ¦â â Pitchfork Media
