Tractor Hips was an instrumental trio from Chapel Hill (North Carolina) that released what was virtually a compendium of post-rock with the album Tractor Hips (Friction Media, 1996). Swimming between the remnants of Soft Machine's jazz-rock (The Universe Seen Through The Eye Of The Needle), Can/Faust's kraut-rock (Echoes From The Powerplant) and John Zorn's avant-jazz (Trunk), the trio delivered the most literate album ever in the genre.
