Spool is very pleased to announce the release of Dearness, featuring Fred Frith, certainly one of the great contributors to adventurous new music, John Oswald, (in)famous for his landmark plunderphonics work, and Anne Bourne, who carries her sense of musical adventure along with her cello gracefully across the musical spectrum. This concert recording captures the trio at the Rivoli in Toronto, Canada in 1998, kicking up a sonic dust storm.

Recorded live at the Rivoli, Toronto, August 1998. Concert produced by Rough Idea. Recording facilitated by Phil Strong. Mastered by Myles Boisen at Headless Buddha Mastering Labs, Oakland (CA, USA).
