Same and the Other, the

Excellent instrumental trio from North Carolina. Their focused on making prog-rock, hard jazz fusion, improv-ish stuff. No bullshit “irony” here just straight-ahead & to the point. Most songs are under 3-4 minutes,
((((1)))) Flurrys of drums, slowly decending/ascending scales and a heft of fun, rockin’ fusion/prog.
(((2))) Loose, off-kilter, stop-starts aplenty.
(((((3))))) Rolling 70’s vibe with a bit of twangy guitar, excellent basswork.
(((((4))))) Wild intro, tempos proceed to shake around all over. Challenging & rewarding.
(((((((5)))))) Crazy stop & starts, simply incredible tight playing all around!
(((((6))))) Continuing where they just left off but slower & off-kilter.
((((7)))) Snaking pace, rumbling bass in your face.
((((8))) Slightly indie rock intro then a downpour of notes, ever-shifting speeds and levels.
(((((9))))) This building and builds and never seems to stop. Wow!
(((10))) Rolling along and hops around in a fantastic 70’s jazz-fusion way. There’s even cowbell. (Just played for the sake of it, not for hipster schmucks).
(((((11))))) Loud heavy thudding mixed with quiet jazzy parts. Very nice.
(((12))) Improv-crazed number, a little too random in places.
