[CRITIC’S PICK]

NNN Cook. | VIA ARTIST BANDCAMP

Fulcrum w/ JoAnn McNeil, NNN Cook

9 p.m. Saturday, January 14. e Luminary, 2701 Cherokee Street. Free. 314-773-1533.

Experimental art and music, by nature, often lacks the kind of unified aesthetic that is necessary when appealing to a casual audience. After all, the term “experiment” implies the possibility of failure while simultaneously asking observers to approach the art with an open mind. Local creative Nathan Cook has spent the better part of the past decade unifying disparate parts of the expansive and overwhelming St. Louis music community through finely tuned concert experiences, including the long-running BRUXISM show series that functionally ended with the pandemic in 2020. Now, in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Kevin Harris, Cook lends his distinct curatorial flavor to a set of six events in 2023 titled Fulcrum. The pair’s mission statement likens the new bi-monthly show to a “warm bath that washes away the territoriality of the art world while clearing a path to foster a true communal experience that connects us to our fellow human.” The series premiere on Saturday prominently features the exploratory Afro-futurist sounds of JoAnn McNeil, who draws from a kaleidoscope of disciplines to build unique and captivating sonic gradients. The lineup includes analog video synthesis by Harris and a kinetic sculpture by Rachel Youn, a Washington University graduate that has exhibited work in solo and group exhibitions in several major cities across the globe, including New York, Berlin, Stockholm and Hong Kong, to name a few. Keep Your Friends Close: Ambitious concert series are nothing new to St. Louis, but Cook’s BRUXISM set itself apart by offering freebies for attendees, including zines and limited edition cassette tapes. For the first edition of Fulcrum, Cook will be giving away 10 copies of his new art/ poetry zine that also features a CD of recent sound work. —Joseph Hess

King Bu alo. | VIA ARTIST BANDCAMP

King Bu alo w/ Rezn, Chaos Bloom

8 p.m. Sunday, January 15. O Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $15 to $18. 314-498-6989.

With seven tracks of unrelenting psychedelia, King Buffalo’s 2022 album Regenerator might be the doomy stoner rock outfit’s best studio effort to date — no small feat for the prolific power trio with more than ten releases since debuting in 2013. The Rochester, New York-based group blends the trappings of a jam band with the kind of seamless progression often heard in krautrock records of yore, but make no mistake, the full discography is equal parts heady and heavy. While some songs fit squarely in the metal genre, the latest record offers a microcosm of all the musical detritus that King Buffalo has picked up throughout its ten years improvising and developing a common language onstage. With a reputation for stunning live sets, the band has developed a high level of interplay that’s typically associated with seasoned jazz players. King Buffalo’s rhythmic layering often builds to a textural wall that feels surreal in the context that it’s produced by a mere three musicians. While there are many ways to conjure this musical sleight of hand — a wall of amps and speaker cabinets is most often used to fill in this kind of sound — this group’s true strength lies in brilliant songcraft and attention to tone. While the band’s latest record has gained more critical acclaim than all of its previous releases, Regenerator is actually the third in a trilogy of “pandemic” albums including The Burden of Restlessness and Acheron, dropped six months apart in 2021. King Buffalo comes to St. Louis at the start of a busy year, which includes lengthy tours throughout North America and Europe. Light It Up: Chicago-based outfit Rezn operates in the middle ground between shoegaze and doom metal, offering a proper palette cleanser before King Buffalo takes the stage. The band’s latest studio effort, Solace, is set to release in March, but attendees should expect a psychedelic sample platter of what’s to come.
