Released by American Tapes

"AM-764 Wasteland Jazz Unit "Solar Static Coves" CD/ YES!!!! Killer Natti Art Damage crew of John Rich on clarinet and Jon Lorenz on saxophone. Total basement squall attack style, scatter jazz top volume raw quarter speed on speed sound approach. Three tracks here, all stokers. Seen these mugs live? Rippin....like a jazz version of DECLINO or something.... Future is bright for these hard driving reed biting duo basement monsterz but bright aint really the word here...more like LOUD. Reed loud...me favorite sound...Probably the WORST first date music out there...THANK GAWD. Color covers, crazy."
-American Tapes

"In 1986, Frank Zappa released an album titled Jazz From Hell, and now, nearly 20 years later, it seems that we finally have a proper referent for that term, one I'm sure not even Zappa could have seen coming. Wasteland Jazz Unit is the Cincinnati duo of saxophonist Jon Lorenz and clarinetist John Rich. These Midwestern boys have been releasing music for about two years but have brutally murdered and simultaneously freed more instruments than most so-called “free jazz” groups do in their lifetimes. Solar Static Coves is a relentless demand for a genre apocalypse and an ensuing rebirth. Saxophones bleat for their lives at the slaughterhouse of the droning tones that crawl around the periphery of the album. Clarinets are tied to chairs in cement rooms with no windows, beaten daily for years with oscillating noise bats. A sort of coerced nirvana arises among these elements who constantly assure the mutual destruction of all the others. Jazz from hell, from mars, from the depths of Gary Busey's soul -- call it whatever you want, but it's the future."
-Tiny Mix Tapes / Gabriel Keehn
