Flags of the Sacred Harp
Jackie-O Motherfucker started in 1994 as a duo. Multi-instrumentalist Tom Greenwood and saxophonist Nester Bucket utilized tape loops of found sound to augment their basic guitar/saxophone foundation. Since then, the group has grown to encompass as many as 20 rotating members in three US cities (Portland, New York and Baltimore). Tom Greenwood (guitar, turntables, percussion) and Jef Brown (guitar, sax) are the core instigators of the chaotic JOMF madness, but JOMF operates under the collective model. Inspiration is drawn from a diverse array of sound and vision: free jazz, noise rock, graffiti, space rock, folk music, Xeroxed art, the list goes on. It's safe to say, however, that the underground experiments of the '60s are a key touchstone musically, especially the NY loft avant-garde. Flags Of The Sacred Harp contains 7 tracks over 70 minutes. The album is a studio-based recording which took a year to create. ATP. 2005.
