brise glace - neither yield nor reap (1994)

Brise-Glace was a 1990s instrumental avant-rock “supergroup“ composed of Jim O’Rourke (guitar, organ, tape and “razor blade“), Darin Gray (bass guitar), Dylan Posa (guitar), and Thymme Jones (drums). Formed in 1993, the mostly Chicago-based band had recorded and toured sporadically in various configurations until 1997. Brise-Glace used guitar improvisation, white noise, and found sounds to create a brooding and almost minimal, eerie musical sound. The recording was engineered by Steve Albini. Brise-Glace’s recording aesthetic was partly inspired by iconic German group Can: they would improvise live in the recording studio, then O’Rourke would extensively edit the recording tapes; thus his “razor blade“ credit.
