Paal Nilsson-Love, Mats Gustafsson's old mucker in The Thing, unveiled his
Large Unit (no sniggering at the back) in 2014 with the triple-disc Erta
Ales. Brimming with energy and ideas, it was a total blast, and the winning
streak continues on Ana, which boldly pushes forward by engaging with Brazilian
music and musicians. The 28 minute centrepiece 'Riofun' never stays still,
opening with a twanging berimbau solo by Celio de Carvalho, before taking in
noise-damaged samba sections, weird rainforest atmospherics and a tuba solo
that appears to be played by an anaconda. It's a sign of this band's chemistry
that they negotiate these transitions so deftly; there's a sense of organic
development, rather than a series of irritating sub-Zorn jump-cuts.
