Experimental rock releases, week 39

This week in experimental rock, archival releases and collaborative ventures take center stage, from Ween's expansive 14-CD box set of 1990s tour recordings to Tom Morello’s new project uniting Serj Tankian, Kneecap, and Beartooth. New tracks from Jane Remover and The Somnambulist, alongside reissues of Faust’s work and Pharaoh Overlord’s latest album, highlight ongoing innovation within the genre. Meanwhile, reimagined covers, posthumous releases, and tributes to icons like John Lennon, Tom Waits, and the MC5 underscore a deep engagement with legacy and reinvention. Peter Hammill, David Byrne, and the Kris Davis Trio further explore personal and conceptual boundaries in music.
