THE EX's new double-album 'Turn' contains 14 new songs, with over 80 minutes of music. After their start in 1979 in the heydays of the punk wave, The Ex developed over the years into a melting-pot of musicalstyles: noise, rock, jazz, improvisation, and ethnic music have been interweaved under one unique umbrella, "Ex-music." Discordant, highly rhythmic guitars and the rolling, almost African drumming style give the music its special character. 'Turn' was recorded by STEVE ALBINI at the Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago, straight after The Ex's three week USA tour of late 2003. The Ex have previously collaborated with TORTOISE for the 'In The Fishtank' series.
