Back in 2016, as discussed here, former members of my beloved Cop Shoot Cop (minus Tod Ashley, who was at home in Turkey, at the time) briefly reconvened for a benefit for Martin Bisi's fabled recording studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The gents partook in a jam session of sorts with former SWANS bassist Algis Kyzis filling in for Tod on second bass. Parts of that session were featured on a BC35 commemorative disc, credited to the name EXCOP.
Some time later, -- around this time last year, really -- the release of that disc was celebrated at Brooklyn's St. Vitus with a live showcase, featuring EXCOP pummeling through an entirely improvisational set -- sort of like a burlier version of Spinal Tap's jazz odyssey without founding guitarist Nigel Tufnel. That's them above. It was a very festive occasion.
Now, here in 2019, a second disc is surfacing -- BC35 Volume Two -- that features another great track from the original session. To celebrate same, EXCOP even cooked up a frankly disquieting video, replete with footage from the original session, spliced between unsettling snippets of all sorts of stuff. Easy viewing it is not, but what were you really expecting?
Learn more here, but -- in the interim -- enjoy the video:
