Experimental jazz, on the chill side with upright and brushed drums, clean electric guitar. Tritonal interlaced weaving melodies in complex time signatures. Instrumental. Amazing playing, especially the bass. Female incredibly creative proficient jazz guitarist isn’t the most common thing. Holy shit. More cool stuff from cuneiform. 1) (6:00) dissonant guitar and bass melodies intertwine with drums, chill and interesting 2)* (7:13) halting a bit, starts mellow but builds into good dissonant wall 3)* (8:13) bass heavy plodding dissonance, almost doomy, bass/drums solo awesome 4) (1:22) brief marching almost looping drums bass 5) (6:22) begins near free jazz disassociated but midway kicks into more interleaved jams 6)* (6:00) dense jam, dissonant but not as superfluous or intellectual as previous ones, heavie 7) (7:24) upbeat almost bee bop 8)* (5:27) slower mindful, nice bass solo midway 9) (7:37) cool near improv, some insane bass playing, kick ass | ||
