Dylan Carlson / Thurston Moore – Lexington, London – Thr 17 Oct ‘13

Not knowing Dylan Carlson or Earth’s output in depth it took a couple of songs (??)  to get into the set but then, yes, this very good indeed. Just Dylan and a drummer and I guess best described as, Dylan playing mostly repetitive guitar almost loops, with echo distortion which easily moved into feedback, just as a note lingered. Nothing fast nor killer loud either  ... quite hypnotic as you tuned into it ... very good indeed.

 Thurston Moore with another guitarist played three quite long pieces in a fairly typical Thurston style... repetitive, almost out of tune but not ... breaking into sporadic mental thrash- outs, all while sitting down. He finished with Psychic Hearts from his first solo album which was all pretty cool ... A damn fine evening.
