  How to make a model of a non-Fermi-liquid metal with efficient current
dissipation is a long-standing problem. Results from holographic duality
suggest a framework where local critical fermionic degrees of freedom provide
both a source of decoherence for the Landau quasiparticle, and a sink for its
momentum. This leads us to study a Kondo lattice type model with SYK models in
place of the spin impurities. We find evidence for a stable phase at
intermediate couplings.
