Group of 2 guys Tucker Martine and Wayne Horvitz with all-star backing of Skerik(!), Bill Frisell playing some jazz. Some sounds like Tuatara, some more adventurous and repetative. The 2 play percussion and keys/synth and organ. There are horns in most of the tunes.
The India-style viola is neat. Best parts have sax and flugelhorn. I liked 1,5,7,9.
1)swingin abstruse piano slows down and has slow fade
2) Phillip Glass-like sax obligato nonsense vocals
3) driving jam on guitar lick bluesy organ & banjo
4)down-home with misc laughs violin&steel guitar
5)wired out synth driven Jimmy Smith/H. Hancock
6)afro banjo/vox into jazz funk & back
7)slow toe-tapper on old Miss. worksong flugelhorn
8)driven by complex drum slow viola
9)2 note bass line | slowswing slowly mutates
10)loopy Kraftwerk/Synergy synth & flugelhorn
11)smooth repetion over loop drums
12)lots of organ chords then to slow sparse viola & organ
