After twelve years of silence following the end of Harry Pussy, Bill Orcutt returned in 2009 with A New Way to Pay Old Debts and began a remarkably fertile phase.

Keeping the wild momentum of the 90s, but with new clarity, Orcutt reconciles past and present in a language that is absolutely personal. From primordial blues to free jazz, from American Primitive to radical experimentalism, everything dissolves in his guitar without ever sounding derivative. First acoustic, then electric again, it expanded through collaborations, its own software and hypnotic readings of the popular canon. In Another Perfect Day, recorded live at Cafe OTO, this music reveals itself with warmth, rigor and rare emotion.
