Review
What would one expect from a band formed by Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes (Animals as Leaders), Adrian Terrazas (ex-The Mars Volta) and Eric Moore (Suicidal Tendencies)? A lot of down-tuned noise with an hardcore drumming? A group of amazing technical musicians that suit to each other? That’s it, and that’s so more than it!
Its, in few words, the fusion between heavy music and jazz. You’ll have a flute swing singing above a polyrhythmic deep, entangled layer of the distorted 8-string guitar and a tidal drumming; a jazz electronic organ behind a tom-filled pattern and a cow-bell, a womanly choir that goes voluptuous in the music; a calm frenetic non-word story!
It’s an album to listen at night, when the reveries come, to make you walk in your thoughts and to make you lost in the music again: you’ll find spirited combinations at the beginning and, as it goes on, s progressively calmer sax and worried, darkened melodies.
I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone who likes music in every aspect, despite genres or formulas. Please chill-out attentively!
