Harsh noise act Phoned Nil Trio have a new album out to celebrate over a decade of making sounds together. It’s comprised of three parts where each member (Peter J. Woods, Lucky Bone & Dan of Earth) contributes their respective portion; the first four are Dan’s, the next two are Lucky Bone’s, and the rest are Peter’s. Each bring their own flavor of erratic digital harshness and warped sampling, punctuated by instinct. Step into the wonderfully weird world of some of Milwaukee’s most tenured noise wizards with Phoned Nil Trio’s “11th Anniversary.”

Phoned Nil Trio – “Honoring a Bird: March 21st, 2001”
Harsh noise project Phoned Nil Trio (Neil Gravander, Dan Schierl, and Peter J. Woods) are back with a bird-themed record. Passages about pigeons and cassowaries take us through plenty of buzzes and fuzzes carried out by some of Milwaukee’s noise pioneers. Street audio samples, radio broadcasts, and jarring sonic blasts encompass the fifth track, which lasts over nine minutes. Phoned Nil Trio is one of Woods’ numerous outfits on the Milwaukee-based noise label FTAM, which he owns and operates. RIP A Bird.
