“The first of seven planned albums by the West Coast chamber collective Wild Up dedicated to the tragically underappreciated, uncategorizable music of the late Julius Eastman, the Black gay composer who died in obscurity in 1990. Elusive and volatile, the music in the 10 tracks on this album was composed in 1974 and startles to this day.”
