Offering a thrashy take on Albert Ayler–styled unity-though-free-jazz, Brooklyn sax-guitar-drums quartet Little Women delivers some seriously intense sheets of skronk. On their second album — a seven-part suite called Throat — they pair a guitar-and-drum cacophony with screeching sax high notes (as in “Throat III”), and milk the oscillating unison bleat which serves as a teeth-shattering finale to the lengthy “Throat IV.” Fortunately, these staggering highs are perfectly balanced by the breathy warble of long whole tones and singable (!) melodies. Aside from the curious-yet-unnecessary final track of (literally) grunting and screaming, this is some of the most listenable and enjoyable noise-jazz going.
