Life in a big city is taxing in ways you don’t even notice, and sometimes the only sensible thing to do is disappear mysteriously into the woods. New York City’s avant-noise duo Blues Control traded the outer borough sprawl of Queens for Pennsylvania mining country. The result is a healthy smattering of tape loops with Lea Cho’s signature Debussy via Guaraldi pianism bolstered by Russ Waterhouse’s comprehensive large-scale guitar work in the recent release of their Drag City debut, Valley Tangent.
