Elliott Sharp - Void Patrol '2022

Tracks list

Void Patrol is the debut recording of musical adventurers Colin Stetson
(saxophones), Elliott Sharp (strings and electronics), Billy Martin (drums &
percussion), and Payton MacDonald (keyboard percussion). In the far reaches of
space an intrepid crew of sonic innovators patrols the void. This new quartet
that fuses elements of jazz, drone, and metal.

Drawing on decades of experience with exploratory music, the members of the
quartet have collaborated with Arcade Fire, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, Tom Waits,
Alarm Will Sound, Jack DeJohnette, Oliver Lake, Iggy Pop, and many more.

The five tracks might be described as “jazz dronecore funk metal,”
sonic explorations into the deepest regions of space and time. Payton MacDonald
brought the four of them together, with just enough structure to shape their
creative forces, until their sonic waves burst out of the computer and into the
cosmos. Their recording includes five tracks that by turns groove, wail, sing,
and mosh with creative abandon. This is the music of our time: far-reaching,
exploratory, effortlessly transcending genres, yet grounded in groove and drone.
