Correct Me If I'm Right

Album Review
Craig Matsumoto
Reviewed 2004-03-13
Outside jazz instrumentals with an indie-rock feel in some of the rhythms. Darkly songlike instrumentals with a bit of a sinister edge. Resembles Jim Black's albums (which include Jensson) on the Winter & Winter label.

Most tracks keep a mid/fast pace but a relaxed feel. Really nice stuff.

1- Floaty but fast drifting, ends with nicely chugging composition
2- Two minutes of chaos, into jangling indie-rock vibe
3- Mid/fast, chugging
4- Acoustic and even pretty, after a very quiet start
5- Squirrely trumpet over midtempo ramble
6- Urgent, screaming
7- Snaky, a bit slower
8- Driven, scattery mess with weird guitar effects
9- Slow
