kroko

"....wherein abstraction, noise and improvisation get mixed in with the expected heavy chops and extended instrumental workouts..." pitchforkmedia

"....kroko 's music possesses a variety of moods and textures, ranging from dense free-improv jazziness to more aggressive, heavier fare, with riffing a la the melvins (or, more accurately, the ruins, what with the complex twists they sometimes take). at one point things get so heavy and distorted it approaches merzbow-style noise. but that's balanced by the many quieter, more delicate, atmospheric tracks. and then there's the others that sound like greg ginn's gone, gone mahavishnu..." enterrupted
