Khaki Blazer
Biography
Khaki Blazer is the solo moniker of Ohio-based experimental musician Pat Modugno, who is also one-half of free jazz/noise duo Moth Cock. Like his work with that outfit, his solo recordings are disjointed, giddy, and chaotic, but his Khaki Blazer material is more geared toward abstractions of hip-hop and dance music (particularly juke/footwork). His recordings often feature mangled drum breaks and cartoonish sound effects twisted and stretched in ways that seldom make conventional sense, but are delightfully confusing nonetheless. Modugno began releasing Khaki Blazer tapes in 2010 on labels like Pizza Night and Fairchild Tapes. Hausu Mountain released Khaki Blazer's 70-minute cassette Moontan Nocturnal in 2015, and he contributed to Cloud Nothings' Here and Nowhere Else Remixed, which was issued by Northern Spy that year. Khaki Blazer's first vinyl full-length, Coco Nara Deezer, was released by Experimedia in 2016. Another Hausu Mountain cassette, Didn't Have to Cut, appeared in 2017, followed by Optikk in 2019. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
