visualmom Pure sound recorded with such clarity and so cohesive as to seem like one mind, I loved the sense of play and freedom bouncing off and between the musicians/instruments.

about

RAWL is a free-playing quartet consisting of Jack Wright (saxophones), Evan Lipson (double bass), Zach Darrup (guitar), and Ben Bennett (percussion). These four constitute a Philadelphia-centered collective that for the past several years has been touring across North America and Europe in various configurations and monikers: Wrest (Wright/Lipson/Bennett), Roughhousing (Wright/Lipson/Darrup), Never (Wright/Darrup/Bennett), Virtual Balboa (Darrup/Lipson/Bennett), Durian Brow (Darrup/Bennett). They are drawn together by an approach to playing characterized by a twisted flux of bizarre sounds and morphing relationships, where exuberance, terror, gravity and comedy collide in a bewildering manifold of perspectives.

Recorded live at La Sotterenea, for Suoni Per Il Popolo festival, Montréal, Quebec, on June 4, 2023.
