To say Needs! is an album from a well-regarded improv/jazz saxophonist won't do it justice. More like interconnection between radio dial, feedback hissing from the ashes, tapping the abstract, a shattered ritual, shaving off conventions of harmony. Gustafsson spurts and malts through an onslaught of morphed souls. It is unsettling, how he bumbles upon makeshift compositions, and that stuttering primitivism challenges apprehension, sinks in with fleshy bite.
