Zachary Swanson on Astroturf Noise’s New Album

Zachary Swanson (BM ’10, Jazz Bass) appears on Blazing/Freezing (577 Records), the new album by Astroturf Noise, the avant-bluegrass trio he’s in with mandolinist Sam Day Harmet and violinist Sana Nagano; the album was recently reviewed in the British music magazine The Wire: “The album’s title summons the spectre of climate change and the tangible unease these three onlookers feel for the American project as the country descends further into political strife.”
