Colour Them Gone by Jailbreak

5...according to our on Wed 02 Mar, 2011.

Corsano! He drums with everybody in outrageous style and makes cricket-themed solo albums which is hugely endearing! Murray (or Leigh as she appears to be now)! She done been in Scorces and Charalambides and made some solo records which have no connection to cricket but were good nonetheless! Together they're Jailbreak and they improv up a tidy racket as you might expect. Proper scorched Earth free noise rock shit actually. Heather Leigh's on particularly fine form, sounding like she's killing at least three guitars a minute but it can't actually be as many as that as she only wails a wordless eulogy every few. It's impossible to picture the drums trying to keep up without imagining them rocking and wobbling precariously all over the place as each of them attempts to recover from the last unsympathetically manic hit in time to produce a sound for the next. Intense.

Brand new set of form-destroying, universe-blasting free music from the
Jailbreak duo of Heather Leigh on pedal steel slash and vocals, and Chris
Corsano on all the fucking drums in the world, released to coincide with their
Oct 2010 UK tour. Colour Them Gone sees the duo birthing even more totally
raw moves, mapping out huge swathes of thinking terrain before any of the
rest of us couldda thunk it, with Corsano thundering out a new interstellar
space behind Heather Leigh's raging guitar lines, which move from diamond
sharp blues one second to total walls of fuzz the next. Heather Leigh's vocals
are particularly outstanding, sounding as devastating as Jandek or Patty
Waters, when the whole holy tumult drops out, before the pair lock together
and smash the whole thing home again and again. Total horse-killing,
blasted-scorch-aktion.
