Catfish J. Rivers, esq. III - The Afterbirth of Cool


Catfish J. Rivers, esq. III is a prolific young musician from New Jersey.
He released a solo output in 2006 for free-streaming called 'The Afterbirth of Cool'; his intention for the album was to blur the line between organic instruments and sampled instruments/computer manipulation. With strong influence from the likes of Boards of Canada, Black Dice, and Tortoise, Rivers created an impressive solo-work that reflects his influences as much as it expands/detracts from them.

Pretty neat stuff, whether his occasional melding of post-rock'd glitch or fusion electronica, you'll likely enjoy the surprise.
