Wishing you could time travel back to early-90s Chicago and relive Touch & Gos glory days, where all that rocked also clanged, spit, punched, and howled? Alas, the technology is still in progress for cosmic sojourns to the house that David Yow built, but stop-gap relief is here in the form of Brokaw. The Seattle-based band is a new endeavor that includes veteran bass player Stuart Dahlquist, a founding member of Burning Witch who has also done time with Sunn O))) and Goatsnake, among others. In keeping with their Windy City vibe, they recently completed recording their debut at Steve Albinis Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, which will be released digitally via local label Good to Die Records this month. With Gypsy Hawk, Huntress, Ayahuasca Travelers. HANNAH LEVIN
