French instrumental trio NOUT defies categorization, delightfully careening between improvisational jazz, math-rock and extreme noise. This intense performance takes you on an emotional rollercoaster from tender, reflective moments to full-on cathartic rage. They’ve been described by critics as the missing link between Nirvana and Sun Ra” and this set will fundamentally challenge your perceptions of what a flute, harp, and drums can achieve. Fasten your seat belt before takeoff.
