Recently I've been quite fascinated by Weasel Walter, an American drummer and composer who is mostly known for leading the Flying Luttenbachers and its rotating cast of musicians. He plays death metal, noise rock, no wave, free jazz, and all sorts of extreme music (he himself coined the term "brutal prog" to describe it). It's super fun and he has really opened my world up to all sorts of music I wouldn't have listened to before.
I recommend the Luttenbachers' "
Losing the War Inside Our Heads", their most recent offering. Delicious noise rock, not quite as avant-garde as some of their other records. It was what got me into the band in the first place!
If you are willing to dive into something a little more out there, I recommend the album "
Katyusha" on which he is joined by bassist Teté Leguía and saxophone maniac (endearing) Martín Escalante. It is some furious improvised music ("ballistic fire music that starts where the most berserk, intense free music begins and then sustains that, then pushes it further."
), a record on which Martín and Teté weave dense textures of noise that W.W. stitches together with his drumming, making for a peculiar and exciting experience.
Weasel has played in many groups and has amassed a
large catalogue of music, which in my opinion is totally worth exploring! it's lots of fun to do so~!
