Kid Millions & Jim Sauter: Fountain
ByThis LP (and digital) release follows their initial offering Boanerges (Doubt Music, 2012). The duo engages in a what, at first listen, seems to be a one-trick- pony approach. Their flash-fried sound is an exercise in torment, the good kind. Millions, like fellow drummers Paal Nilssen-Love and William Hooker eschews swing for hypnotic, tent-raising drumming. His pulse is a counter, or better yet, a counter- offensive, to the voracious onslaught that is Sauter's saxophone.
There is subtlety in the noise. What might be dismissed as a ham & egg approach has nuance, which can be heard at the high volumes this recording invites. It is bar clearing, neighbors complaining, get-your-ear plugs, fun energy improv music.
