Neutral Milk Hotel's drummer Jeremy Barnes formed Bablicon with
Dave McDonald and Griffin Rodriguez. The Chicago-based instrumental trio
(saxophone, bass and drums) debuted with
In A Different City (Pickled Egg, 1999),
a noisy, spastic, psychedelic jazz-rock experiment that harks back to Captain Beefheart (minus the voice and the
blues).
The more complex tapestry of the mini-album
Orange Tappered Moon (Pickled Egg, 2000)
was reminiscent of both Soft Machine's progressive-rock and Slint's post-rock
as well as of Frank Zappa's irreverent musique concrete.
The piano dominated the anarchic vignettes of
A Flat Inside A Fog, The Cat That Was A Dog (Misra, 2000),
a gloriously incoherent statement of ambient cacophony.
Need New Body's drummer Chris Powell and Bablicon's bassist Griffin Rodriquez
formed Icy Demons who released Fight Back! (Cloud Recordings, 2004.
