Burnt Friedman presents his fourth solo album, following up the 2007 masterpiece "First Night Forever". "Bokoboko" is an entirely instrumental recording, impossible to pinpoint to existing genres of music.

"Bokoboko" comes from the Japanese, like the other track titles, and means "uneven", "hollow-sounding" - adjectives aptly describing the album's crooked, dynamic grooves as well as the many percussively resounding instruments. Friedman, recognizable more or less by the sound of the ten instrumental tracks, plays prepared oil barrels/steel drums, all kinds of wood and metal percussion, gongs, monochord, a home-made rubber-band guitar, organ, synthesizer, and electric guitar. He is sometimes joined by Hayden Chisolm (wind instruments), Joseph Suchy (guitar), Daniel Schrater (bass), as well as, making his first guest appearance, Takeshi Nishimoto, a Berlin-based Japanese musician playing the sarod, a traditional Indian string instrument.
