Since 2012, MANAS, the improvising duo of Asheville’s Tashi Dorji (guitar) and Thom Nguyen (drums), has forged a path of fearless, intuitive improvisation, drawing from free jazz, noise, and punk. Their new 2xLP on American Dreams, conceived as a score for Kunsang Kyirong’s acclaimed feature-length debut 100 Sunset, balances the explosive energy of their concerts with attention to texture and form. MANAS emphasize space, repetition and restraint, building song structures in real time. The most yielding thing... unfolds organically, a thrilling release of great natural beauty.
