about

"Using music in a way that would make Plato squeal, these four accomplished musicians -- certainly among the forefront of experimental music -- have crafted an unrelenting slab of noise that's as violent as it is sublime." - Mr. P, Tiny Mix Tapes


Cold Bleak Heat is the East Coast's maximalist tour de force of spontaneous sound construction. Made up of the heaviest cats in the underworld of Hated Arts, CBH is spearheaded by Connecticut's prevailing operator of the alto/ tenor saxophones, Paul Flaherty. Alongside is his regular sparing partner, drummer Chris Corsano, sound sculpting trumpeter Greg Kelley (nmperign) and Earth-boom grounding acoustic bassist Matt Heyner (No Neck Blues Band, Test). Cold Bleak Heat is a wake up call to the evolving life of the avant garde.

It's Magnificent, but It Isn't War is Cold Bleak Heat's debut.

"Here, in the company of a drummer and bassist who came up through the liberated fringes of avant rock and hardcore, [Flaherty and Kelley] sound perfectly at home, working organic, omni-directional rhythms, long-held tones and huge smears pf cross-register roar into transient architectures well beyond the articulation of traditional jazz alphabets." -- Volcanic Tongue
