Tashi Dorji & Tyler Damon Leave No Trace: Live In St. Louis

As live albums go, Tashi Dorji and Tyler Damon nail it down. No matter the crowd --
head thrashers, Instagram zombies, shaken jazzniks -- the shadow lines of feedback
and bombastic percussive bombs are always at peak intensity. Through telepathic
engagement the Bhutanese-born guitarist Dorji and Midwestern drummer Damon act
with one-mind destruction as Leave No Trace: Live In St. Louis perfectly captures. It's
a pure sound for these disruptive, politically tumultuous times. Or Marc Master's
describes it as, a power lurching at you "in ways that feel dangerously uncontrolled,
like someone playing with a plugged-in toaster over a filled-up bathtub." Leave No
Trace -- a companion release to their hyper-acclaimed debut Both Will Escape -- was
recorded at Gaslight in St. Louis. The 500-edition LP features jacket designed by the
hand/razor of Jeremy Kannapell; comes with a download coupon. RIYL Sun City Girls,
