Nice instrumental prog (or “math rock” if you prefer) trio from Oakland. Sometimes loud & bombastic like King Crimson othertimes jazzy, fusion/rock kinda stuff going on. (((((1))))) Awesome, fuzzy guitar-laden early Crimson-worship. Like something from the “Red” LP outtakes or sumethin’ ((((2)))) Off-kilter jazz-rock. Some nice stop/starts. ((((3)))) Snaky, sneaky & cyclical. (((((4)))) Playful to the point of silliness but really a lot of fun mixing prog & jazz fusion. (((((5)))) Excellent minimal strummy sounds. Listen close and it sounds like someone’s talking. (((6))) Twangy, sort of Fred Frith-like, repetitive but then guitar gets a little heavy on the wailing. (((((7)))) Great guitar harmonics with some oddball jazz moments. Lots of stops/starts + bass thuds. A few nods to Sabbath & Rush, too. ((((8)))) Watery then videogame like with theremin effects. Sorta funky, too. ((((9)))) Lots of nicely flowing bass, a mix of scales and solid mix of simple chords & notes. | ||
