Cooper Crain is busy, both as a member of noted Chicago drone band Cave and asone third of Bitchin Bajas, with a more explosive and fancy-free approach to theirexperimental jaunts through the airwaves. I think of track ‘Skylarking’ as a goodexample of the group’s sound, which unfolds like a synthetic barn swallow migratingthrough the transcontinental […]
