This split release captures Free Kitten at their most daring, pairing the avant-rock supergroup with genre-defying collaborators: DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid and We. Free Kitten—featuring Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) and Julie Cafritz (Pussy Galore)—have always thrived on subverting expectations, but here, the stakes are raised. DJ Spooky’s side brings fractured beats and sampledelic textures that refract Free Kitten’s raw guitar work through an electronic lens, creating a disorienting yet magnetic soundscape. In contrast, the tracks with We (the Norwegian electronic duo) veer into playful deconstruction, swapping noise for groove and feedback for hypnotic repetition. This is not background music; it’s an invitation to engage with the possibilities of sound and collaboration. For collectors, this album is a document of a pivotal moment in late-90s/early-2000s underground music—a time when boundaries between rock and electronic were joyfully blurred. Whether you’re a fan of Sonic Youth’s legacy or an explorer of experimental hybrids, this record will intrigue and reward with every spin. Perfect for those who value artistic risk and sonic adventure.
