It was a night for experimental music at No Fun in Troy on August 6, as Thor Harris (Swans, Xiu Xiu, etc.) held court. More Eaze (Brooklyn’s Maurice Rubio) and the local Sisterhood of Sleep got the edginess going early.

If you came there for the abrasive, experimentation of the projects he is known for I think you would be surprised. Thor and his collaborators focused more on brisk, evocative rhythms to hypnotize this listener with no delivery of explosive crescendos to scare the audience.
