I might be seeing him next Saturday as he's playing with Man Man in Philly. The little bit I've heard is real interesting. He apparently plays a homemade instrument that he calls a Pencilina which according to his website "is an electric board zither played primarily by striking the strings with sticks; also by plucking and bowing." along with drums and other various percussion instruments at the same time, sometimes while singing. It's pretty dark and creepy sounding stuff and it sounds like there's a few people playing but it's all just him. Really neat stuff.
