YoshimiO / Susie Ibarra / Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe - Flower of Sulphur (Thrill Jockey Records February 23, 2018)



Flower of Sulphur is a transfixing piece of continuous improvisation from three experimental luminaries: multi-instrumentalist YoshimiO (Boredoms, OOIOO, SAICOBAB), internationally acclaimed percussionist Susie Ibarra, and artist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Lichens). The trio's jaw dropping performance was recorded in December 2016 at Roulette in Brooklyn. Flower of Sulphur documents a singular evening of exquisite sound and exceptional performance. Absolutely an essential album, pristinely recorded, and capturing a rare performance. A must have for any fans of creative innovation and improvistation. The trio are hoping to make additional live performances throughout 2018. 'In the seemingly impenetrable, fantastic murkiness of Japanese experimental psych pop, more often than not, Yoshimi has been a beacon.' - FADER '[Susie Ibarra is] a highly regarded and ubiquitous figure on New York's fertile downtown improvising scene.' - Modern Drummer 'Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe is an enduring voice in the US underground, producing everything from math rock to ambient to vocals in sci-fi blockbuster Arrival. -The Guardian
