DOWNLOAD: Pit Er Pat - Evacuation Days + STREAM: The Good Morning Song (Lucky Dragons Remix)

Tags: indie-rock, nu-jazz

You can rely on any reunion between US indie rock and nu-jazz to make for akward listening. It sometimes seems the two are miles apart - indie-rock, with its decades-old codes and rituals, on the one hand; and song-based improv, with its own internal battle between form and formlessness, on the other. Pit Er Pat are a trio who seem to have a knack of finding these disparate components some common ground - last year's High Time full-length, released through Thrill Jockey, cast tracks like "Cairo Shuffle" and "Evacuation Days" out into the ether at the edge of familiar experience, carefully combining Middle-Eastern slank with abstracted punk-funk percussion to build something new and very much their own. Preparing for a May tour of the UK, Pit Er Pat have sought out oddball compadres Lucky Dragons to remix "The Good Morning Song" for a limited edition remix 12", also featuring contributions from Brenmar of These Are Powers and High Places' Rob Barber, appearing on the record in his guise as The Urxed.
