Biography
Pitom is one of those galactic events that has a one-in-a-gazillion
chance of happening and actually does: a jazz-punk-country hybrid. The
kind of music that could only come from a culture known for wandering.
The soundtrack to being lost in the desert for 40 years. Cacophonic
guitar, surly heavy-metal bass and a soaring violin, so ethereal that
the listener needs those mosh-pit drums to rocket you back down to
Earth. Yoshie Fruchter and his erstwhile
collaborators in Pitom have already set the New York City
ablaze with their on-stage presence, and this -- the first document of
their remarkable presence on the planet -- is a beautiful and caustic
warning to the rest of the world.(Myspace 2/22/10)
