LEGION OF DAGON:
Splendid reviews
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.
-- Phillip Buchan
"...the players...certainly
possessing talent...one has the impression of preparing for a journey."

"If you're into jazz/noise/improv/tweaker-ism,
you'll want to check out this excellent release"
-Max Level, KFJC FM
"'Waltz of the Shogoths' is particularly good -
almost like a Nancarrow player piano piece met up
with early Cecil Taylor on the way to a blues jam"
-Jasons Bivins, Cadence
