Jamie Saft’s, Joe Morris’ and Balazs Pandi’s artistic relationship has been steadily developing on RareNoise since late 2012 : Saft and Pandi both played on Metallic Taste Of Blood; all three played with Wadada Leo Smith on Red Hill; Saft and Morris both played on Plymouth (with Mary Halvorson, Chris Lightcap and Gerald Cleaver) and The Spanish Donkey (with Mike Pride). At the time of their debut release, Black Aces, we said
“With an audacious, uncompromising spirit, Slobber Pup wails with impunity on its savagely fierce, purely improvised self-titled debut on RareNoise Records.”
Now Slobber Pup are back with their sophomore release, titled Pole Axe; The original core lineup is here augmented by the presence of Swedish sax titan Mats-Olof Gustafsson (already present on Cuts, Cuts Of Guilt, Cuts Deeper, Cuts Up, Cuts Out), replacing Trevor Dunn.
