5 Things to Know About The Red Krayola’s ‘Free Form Freak-Outs’

  1. They are improvised noise pieces. The band performed them with a group of collaborators called the Familiar Ugly.

  2. They appear on the album ‘The Parable of Arable Land.’ That album alternates between conventional songs and these chaotic improvisations.

  3. They are not structured songs. Expect raw, unstructured noise rather than melody or rhythm.

  4. They reflect 1960s psychedelic rock’s love of chaos. This kind of structural disorder makes the era’s music worth exploring.
