So far this thread is making me:

a) wish I had more money to spend on music this fall, having exhausted my Sept. reserve on the new Brad Mehldau and Nick Cave albums

I can Dropbox you the Nels Cline album if you want to listen to it

Holy crap, this version of "Snare, Girl" is everything I dreamed it would be and more.

It Only Has To Happen Once 5:45 (music and lyrics by Arto Lindsay & Peter Scherer)

Nels Cline is probably best known as the guitarist for Wilco, but he came up playing jazz and improvisational music in the ’80s. And while he still plays with Wilco, he’s kept numerous genre-spanning side projects and collaborations going as well. In 2014, he teamed up with jazz guitarist Julian Lage to release an album called Room, and now he’s brought in bassist Scott Colley and drummer Tom Rainey to turn their duo into a quartet: the Nels Cline 4.

The Nels Cline 4 are releasing their debut album, Currents, Constellations, next month on the legendary jazz label Blue Note. (Cline already released one album on the label, Lovers, in 2016.) And today they’re sharing its lead single “Imperfect 10,” a genre-agnostic exploratory jam. Check out a video of the band performing it live in the studio and find the tracklist for Currents, Constellations below.
