Tuscaloosa’s Baak Gwai [play] herky-jerky prog/punk splendor. Baak Gwai is an acquired taste, I suppose, but I’m up for a second helping. Their songs are comprised of disparate ideas floating in the ether, tethered together with rubber bands—the second you start getting your brain around one, it has bounced to another. It leads to all their songs sounding alike in that each one involves a number of scene changes, but I’m fine with that.
