Recommended via Bandcamp end of the year such and such . . .
Not the sort of thing I would normally gravitate toward, but these two ladies made QUITE THE RACKET together:
Sounds really good loud, but NOT ADVISABLE if you've got a headache/aren't in the mood.

Nina Garcia rules live.
She just put out a solo album on Ideologic Organ.
I did some programming assistance for a festival here for the past two years, basically researching and proposing artsts/bands. Funding crisis means there's no money for it anymore unfortunately. It was kind of a clusterfuck for institutional reasons, orga chaos, recs didn't get listened to at all, not much made it into the program. She was one of the only things that did. I am kind of shy in some ways, so I didn't seek her out to say "hi, I suggested you play here", so I was just sat in the audience on the floor right across from her amps thinking "OK, let's go, knock them dead". And she absolutely killed it. Seeing the joy on the faces of my old middle-aged improv dude bandmates and swaying kids alike was one of the best experiences of the past couple years.

This one upthread, it has guitar massacring mixed with a trombone that at first blush sounds like a broken/distorted didgeridoo, or something. Has an intriguing "What the hell IS that?" sort of timbre. Ferocious and borderline comical. The recording is pleasantly out there. And I appreciate that there aren't any vocals on top, that they just stuck to that palette and ran with it, over the course of an LP, without adding anything else.
