Norway's Xploding Plastix (Beatservice Records) have a new release out entitled, "Treated Timber Resists Rot". I was fortunate to receive this release in advance and have grown to love this disc over the past few months. The "NuJazz" outfit have produced a beautiful, fresh, and clever album.

Currently, the disc is only available as an import, but you can download their latest in it's entirety at Amazon or on iTunes! Also, if your unfamiliar with their music, check out their Discography.
