Tanake: 3ree (Fratto9/ Ebria, 2007)

Tanake are a radical jazzcore band from Florence. They follow the footsteps of such bands as Zu, Anatrofobia, Strafuckers, but their first and only album displays a very personal mastership of the nowadays very "Italian" impro/math/post/jazzcore formula. Their aesthetics is very freeform and comprises radio excerpts, frantic, simmery drumming, amorphous guitar and trumpet burbles, edgy bass short-circuits. The result could sound completely out of focus, but happily does not.

Here's a good review, in Italian.
