¡FIASCO! / Throwaway / ZĀM
¡🄵🄸🄰🅂🄲🄾! / 🅃🄷🅁🄾🅆🄰🅆🄰🅈 / 🅉Ā🄼
Washington DC-based ¡FIASCO! was first assembled in 2016 building a unique repertoire of sounds and materials rooted in droning folk songs, jittery hip-hop grooves, grunge, and punk rock. ¡FIASCO! was signed to Unit Records in 2023 and released their Unit debut Anger Artist in January 2024. Throughout years of club gigs, experimentation with original and re-imagined repertoire, and growing sophistication with electronics and effects, combining a jazz form with rock aesthetics and attitude, ¡FIASCO! built a following and a sound uniquely their own.
Throwaway is acclaimed guitarist Kirsten Carey’s post-punk band that acrobatically leaps around virtuosic riffs and unexpected rhythms. Throwaway’s electric energy is “absolutely brilliant” (Soundsphere), with “aerodynamic rock-grit flavors of the likes of Primus or Deerhoof” (eCurrent). In 2019, Throwaway released their debut album, WHAT?, to widespread acclaim, snagging spots on international year-end lists from the likes of Ghettoblaster Magazine, Tinnitist, and Organ Thing.
ZĀM is the guitar-bass-drums trio of Anthony Pirog, Andrew Colwell, and Dan Sharnoff. The trio has been playing music together since they first met in public school in Vienna, Virgina 25 years ago. Rooted in structured improvisation and stretching the boundaries of genre ZĀM plays ‘hard ambient music’ navigating through noise, rock, ambient, new age, glitch, drone, hardcore, sludge, psychedelic, electronica and free music.
ALBUM OUT NOW: ¡FIASCO! «Remember Your Flowers»
Nelson Dougherty – guitar
Andrew Frankhouse – saxophone
Stephen Arnold – bass guitar
Keith Butler – drums
Washington DC-based ¡FIASCO!’s “Remember Your Flowers”, their fourth release and second on Unit Records, offers a new view of the band’s unique sound and collective “not-jazz” improvisational style, while remaining an extension of their prior work. Recorded live and without isolation booths or headphones, the sound captured on “Remember Your Flowers” wraps around the listener, breathing and human in a manner which captures the essence and urgency of the band’s live performances.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Dave Nachodsky
