Paxit - Tttoad ~ פחית קקקרפדה

Taken from the album "Left Eye Twitch" by Paxit. Enjoy!

SOME WORDS OF REVIEW:

"Anyway, Left Eye Twitch is great, not perfect, but definitely something for free jazz fans."

"The Paxit guys, luckily, know their stuff well. And I won't say that they don't sound hilarious sometimes, but it's just their way of building an atmosphere. Stylistically, they are, at least on this album, sometimes Steve Reich's New York Counterpoint gone free jazz, with far less instrumentation, and sometimes a 50% Boredoms, 50% Gerogerigegege mix with a little bit of Ligeti and John Zorn thrown in. And way too many other things to name, but you should get the idea if you know those few acts. Of course, Paxit doesn't get near the levels of awesomeness of Zorn's or Gerogerigegege's stuff, but they try. And right, they aren't 100% serious about it all (would it be good if they did?) but even the most outworldish playing fits, nonsensical or not. Recorder, all kinds of brass, guitar, percussion, vocals, all of them are abnormally played on Left Eye Twitch, but they somehow sound recognizable if you're used to this kind of music."

Ignacio Coluccio, Maelstorm


"Paxit (which translates as 'tin can') are an ensemble based in Israel who exist in the hinterlands of experimental music liberally splicing a huge variety of genres, instruments, found sounds, catcalls, jeers and monologues with their own unique and enthralling music."

Ian, Wonderful Wooden Reasons



"Paxit is the Hebrew for ‘tin can’, and on "Left Eye Twitch" this Israeli project opens up to reveal a bewilderingly eclectic 29 tracks and 63 minutes of chaotically freeform psychedelic experimentalism, with styles varying from free jazz through to noisy punk rock and glitchy electronica. Track lengths vary between seven seconds and nine minutes, providing an elusive and rapidly shifting sonic experience which is all too often impossible to process before it slips away like quicksilver."

Jelle Jansen, KRR
