Key of Shame

Key of Shame is a monumental release in the Planam catalogue, a double LP that captures the spirit of free improvisation and experimental sound at its most uncompromising. The project brings together a rotating cast of underground musicians, each contributing their unique voice to a collective exploration of noise, texture, and abstraction.  Key Of Shame is the most extreme entity to come from two cult collectives of the New York underground, No Neck Blues Band and Sightings.

The music unfolds as a series of extended improvisations, where traditional instruments are pushed to their limits and electronics blur the line between the organic and the synthetic. The result is a sound world that is constantly shifting, full of surprises and moments of raw intensity. What sets Key of Shame apart is its willingness to embrace risk and uncertainty. The musicians are unafraid to venture into uncharted territory, using feedback, extended techniques, and spontaneous composition to create music that is as challenging as it is rewarding. For listeners seeking the outer limits of experimental sound, this double LP is an essential document—a testament to the power of collective creativity and the enduring vitality of the underground.
