Two years in the making, Cock E.S.P.'s 17th release, Historia de la Musica Cock (2011, Sun Ship), serves both as the veteran Minneapolis noise band's juicy sonic autobiography as well a whirlwind tour of the postures and proclivities of experimental music's past century. Augmenting Cock's steady lineup (Emil Hagstrom, Matt Bacon, Jason Wade, Nicole Rode, Scott Burns and Paige Flash), the album boasts a cavalcade of talented guests including John Vance, Weasel Walter, Leslie Keffer, Blowfly, members of White Mice, Harry Pussy, the Nihilist Spasm Band, the Stooges and many more. With 125 pieces clocking in at 38 minutes, prepare for some serious rapid ear movement!
