Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Forty Fort

by Eyal Hareuveni
The experience of listening to the highly gifted quartet Mostly Other Do the Killing (MOPDtK) is like taking a ride on roller-coaster while drunk, but still trusting your life in the hands of a wild driver who often has some epileptic fits.

Mostly Other People Do The Killing: Forty Fort

by Raul d'Gama Rose
Several wonderful things distinguish Mostly Other People Do The Killing (MOPDtK) from almost any other band playing today in the long shadows of Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman.

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Forty Fort

by Jakob Baekgaard
