Monstrance is an exploratory double‑album of free improvisation featuring XTC’s Andy Partridge alongside Barry Andrews and Martyn Barker. Recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, the sessions drift through experimental rock, avant‑garde jazz, ambient textures and abstract fusion.

Released on Ape House in 2007, this 2CD set captures the trio at their most instinctive and inventive — a deep dive into spontaneous composition for fans of experimental, boundary‑pushing music.
