Zs – Grain Part One
Tags
Biography
Brooklyn, New York, United States (2000 – present)
Zs was founded in 2000 by tenor saxophonist and composer Sam Hillmer. Since the band’s inception Zs has incarnated as everything from a sextet to a duo, most recently featuring Patrick Higgins (electric guitar) and Greg Fox (drum set), in addition to Hillmer’s signature sax ranting. While Zs’ music has been variously categorized as no wave, noise, post-minimalist, drone, and psych, they are primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. The band has been heralded by New York Times as “one of the strongest avant-garde bands in New York.”

Arms is fantastic and fun, and I don't see anyone giving it shit. Certainly it's nowhere near New Slaves, though. That one is a flat out monument.

no-thanks
It's just comparatively not as interesting, so strict and, following the rules.

Do not understand such discredit for Arms.

@Jazuki: I think that's somehow related to Ben Greenberg's side-project Hubble.
