Jazz/rock quartet with a harmonica in the front line. You get a taste on the first track, with the electronically enhanced harp carving blazing guitar-like lines. Everything springs off of Liebig's Ornette-minded composing, usually leading to a set of brisk solos.
This is the opposite of Liebig's previous CD, Pomegranate, which was a set of lengthy, sophisticated, near-classical pieces. These are short, down-and-dirty, guitar-minded songs... without the guitar. GE Stinson's liner notes imply this is Liebig's "primal molten state" ... seems apt.
Mostly mid/fast tempos and upbeat all 'round.
*1- Midtempo but hyper
2- Bluesy honky-tonk shuffle with free jazz collapse
3- Mid/fast, Peter Gunn-like bassline
*4- Busy, clattery percussion. Nice bass solo.
5- Cartoony/circus feel, kinda sneaky
6- Mostly a midtempo blues with an aggressive side
7- Tense and wild, but only 47 seconds
*8- Fast!
9- Slow burning-blues feel
10- Bouncy stomp, goofy attitude
11- Slower (still a midtempo), w/bit of blues stride
*12- Bumpy down-home cooker in 7/8
*13- Fast and rockin', with a bright theme
