Two performances, "UM" and "YANG" -- very different from her EP released last year, Rain Dance, which was more beat-driven, almost a little house-ish at points, and pretty quick and concise.

These are longer ("UM" is 10+ minutes but I think they are meant as a single piece or suite), performed by a septet. Very open, lots of development with some outright noisy sections (no complaints here). Heavy use of a sousaphone, conga, and wild percussion gives it almost a bit of a New Orleans sound at times.

Need to spend more time without but definitely worth a listen.
