The improv punk band Black Market Translation just released a new album, Triogene, and plays an album release show at Mutiny Information Cafe.

Black Market Translation

Despite the humor and lyricism, no one in Black Market Translation writes songs. In fact, it doesn't even have a singer. It's a completely improvisatory band, with a sound it calls"improv punk psychedelic junk wave sufi doom surf." "[Improving] is kind of similar to comedy improv. ... Chris throws down a key or a chord and we are doing that. There's no question," Clifford says, adding that he looks at all the elements of the piece — the pitch, harmony, melody, rhythm — and uses them to find a way into the music.

Time slows down while they create, and a lick the band thought was too lengthy might only be four seconds long."It's a microcosm of the entire universe," Anderson says.
