Crazy Doberman

Country: United States

Crazy Doberman is a free improvising collective from Lafayette, Indiana. The group grew out of Doberman, an industrial and power electronics project, and changed its name after John Olson joined. Its music mixes free jazz, industrial sounds and electronic noise, played by a shifting lineup that can range from a duo to ten or more people. Tim Gick and Drew Davis are the main organisers, and Gick usually records and mixes the releases. The first full-length, Free LSD, came out in 2017, followed by the seven-inch Rust Clatter for the Midwest Sun on I Dischi Del Barone in 2018.

Two Tales of Lost Witness Marks
Tim Gick's already-warped patchwork editing of the entire Crazy Doberman output thus far turns increasingly glitched out across the splattered quiltwork of a nine track LP on Aguirre. Any coherent sense of time departs early on the A-side; kicked off…

Free LSD
Hailing from LaFayette Indiana, this amorphous psycho jazz unit drops a heavy slab of tunes that sounds like “the Glenn Miller orchestra recorded a tape for Industrial Records and microwaved the masters”. Hard to pin down and forever tripping with ne…
