Convulsionaries ... CD Astral Spirits, 2018. New Copy ... $8.99
We're not sure we know what "convulsionaries" are – but we can definitely say there's a skittish, twitchy approach to the way that Brandon Seabrook approaches his music – almost a sense of pulse gone out of control, which manifests itself in his unflaggingly unfurling angular ...
