Sunburned Hand of the Man

Another triumphant live set captured in the early days of the Sunburned Hand of the Man's Boston loft, SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN presents the avant-jazzier side of the collective commonly regarded as free-folk. Originally released on vinyl with no track-listing, this reissue contains four untitled tracks of stellar, improvised beauty and calamity somewhere between BITCHES BREW-era Miles Davis and Lee Perry at his darkest. Few bands are better at meandering around the sonic universe in a cloud of hash smoke than SHOTM, and few records capture their exploratory, collective spirit like this one. Call it social music for the anti-social.
