I was just thinking about MMOH last night because we finished watching The OA and I got some of the same feelings from it that I get from this album.

It's the "Beautiful Tool" combo who performed a handful of shows three years ago and I don't think anything since.

Canada. At the Vancouver Jazz Festival. Tix were $28. A bargain imo.

Here's a baffled review from (I think) the last show in 2015.

Haha I just noticed she did "The Snake" - that thing that Trump performs from time to time.

Show was good. A few reservations but I enjoyed it a lot. It didn't blow minds or anything. It was unrehearsed and the band could've used more direction. The starts and ends of the songs were all ramshackle, much of it was improvised and they overplayed on most songs imo. There was one bit near the end when they did a great key change and I thought "fucksake-an arrangement!"
She herself forgot the words on dozens of occasions and barely two lines in a row were ever sung straight. It was like Liza Minnelli slipping back and forth between Ella-style focused scatting and Yoko Ono making whatever noises she's feeling in the moment. Followed by some whistling or whatever. Pretty amazing.
If I'd wandered in not knowing what it was I might have been racking my brains for what Shimmy Disc act might have reformed - the only previous time I saw a balloon used as a musical instrument was at a Eugene Chadbourne gig.
