“…like Iconoclast, a New York-based avant-garde jazz duo, who’ve definitely got a distinctive sound. What does it sound like? Imagine you’re a hard-core speed freak. You haven’t slept in weeks. Psychosis is setting in. You begin to hallucinate. There are millions of little bugs beneath your skin, crawling madly over your ruined veins. Now imagine if each of those bugs was playing an alto saxophone. That’s Iconoclast. Pretty cool, huh?” — The Music Paper, 1989

Yeah, I’m not proud of my original review, published in the pre-Internet days under the nom de plume “Andy Glass.” What can I say? I was just a dumb rock guy. Now that I’m a crusty old fuck, I can sagely point to the influence of Coltrane, Sun Ra, James Chance, John Lurie, and so forth. Or not.

The duo remains very active, and released their latest CD, Driven To Defiance, in April 2017. Find out more at the band’s web site, or hit ’em up on Facebook and Youtube.

I believe Iconoclast is still selling this cassette, so no downloads here.
