Party Dozen - 21 Bum Salute [CD]

21 Bum Salute is the fifth album from Sydney experimental psych-noise-pop duo Party Dozen. The work of Kirsty Tickle (saxophone, vocals) and Jonathan Boulet (drums, loops, production), 21 Bum Salute finds the critically-acclaimed, semi-improvised duo feeling liberated — from their peers, their worries, and what the hell they're supposed to sound like now.

Party Dozen recorded, mixed, and mastered 21 Bum Salute completely themselves, over a three month span. Inspired by spooky "old recordings" as well as the primal impulses of acts like ESG and Bikini Kill, 21 Bum Salute — named after a peculiar, larrikin ritual in Australia's arid Northern Territory — condenses consecutive years of jam sessions, loops, and improvisations into just over half an hour's worth of fizzing, strutting, striking sonics from the fringes.
