Towards the end of March, Bill Orcutt will throw a mini sort of festival to celebrate the music he's released on his label Palilalia, but next week he'll drop yet another new record (which he'll play during this event in Brooklyn) of wonderful instrumental guitar music and today he's shared two more tracks from the album. "Unfinished not fragile" is a more melodic tune than many of his other wild abstractions, but the bruising guitar still hits with the usual sharpness that comprises so much of his solo work. It revs with power, slowly building, but never totally climaxes, leaving you in suspense from start to finish as it weaves in subtle flares of elegant noise. "Is left alone" brings forth more of that jarring experimental style with twisted loops that seem to go on forever despite a run time under three minutes. They're quite the pair, each one balancing the other out while still building the hype as to what else the record will have in store. It couldn't be more fitting that for someone who always seems to warp his sound into something new while coming from no one else, the record is titled Music in Constant Motion, a feeling that sounds true to the core of his artistic statements over the years.
Music in Constant Motion is out March 13.
