Jazzy, skronky experimental rock is a difficult
thing to pull off, even if you're an inarguably brilliant musician -- conduct
an opinion poll at your local record store and you'll find that music lovers
are split between thinking guys like Bill Laswell and
Buckethead are brilliant and that they're
unpardonably awful. Tri-Cornered Tent Show work that same cartoonish,
histrionic end of the noise rock spectrum, and Legion of Dagon is, as you'd
guess, a love or hate proposition. You'll either find it wanky
and mawkish or refreshing and daring. Either way, you'll have a difficult time
remaining neutral toward their squibbling reed
instruments, Lovercraft-inspired lyrics and dramatic
percussive flourishes.
