When I booked Master Musicians of Bukkake last year to appear on Audioasis, my radio show on KEXP, I made the decision based purely on a spin of Visible Sign of the Invisible, their entrancing and unsettling 2010 release, and the fact that the all-star drone ensemble contained esteemed doomsayer/producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Lesbian, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) and other notable locals, including members of the Accused, Earth and Sun City Girls. It wasnt until my red-faced assistant asked me if I could legally utter their name it on-air that I received an education on the origins of their laughably lewd moniker (should you be as ignorant as I was, Ill leave that to you and Google, thought I wouldnt advise doing so at work). With Wolvserpent, A Story of Rats, Blinding Light. HANNAH LEVIN
