Rolling Stone's 14th best avant album of 2015

Bill Orcutt and Jacob Felix Heule, 'Colonial Donuts'

A set of 13 brief, visceral, blurt-sized improv sets that puts the "primal" in "American primitive." Until 1997, Bill Orcutt made explosive, full-body-orgasm noise-rock in Harry Pussy and, 20 years later, re-emerged as an acoustic, scissor-fingered blues shredder. This duet with Bay Area drum splatterer Jacob Felix Heule splits the difference between the two eras: It's an explosive, high-energy collaboration that's as close to Delta Blues as Lightning Bolt.

The Best Splits, Compilations & Collaborations of 2015

"Colonial Donuts pairs a couple of singular instrumentalists to dazzling effect. Bill Orcutt, once the driving force of Harry Pussy, wields the guitar with little regard for convention, conjuring metallic timbres with an inimitable picking style; and fellow Bay Area player Jacob Felix Heule, familiar to the improvised music community, proves similarly expressive on the drum kit, which sounds locomotive or else wild and clamorous. Together on Colonial Donuts, they articulate a new vernacular altogether." http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/chatter/the-best-splits-compilations-collaborations-of-2015
