Out Trios Volume Four

Guitar-bass-drums trio that leans towards an avant-rock sound with shades of blues -- a dark atmosphere overall, sometimes grumpy, sometimes lyrical. The bass and drums add a propulsive free-jazz feel. Pieces appear to be improvised, so maybe you could call it free-avant-blues jamming. The fourth in a series of guitar trio CDs from Atavistic (see also Cline/Parkins/Rainey).

1*- Dark, mid-aggressive jungle
2*- Nice bluesy/jazzy feel, midtempo and easygoing, pleasant
3- Sparse industrial chugging
4- Calm post-rock melody. Builds into loud swells of sound
5- Spare motor-revving sounds; twiddly bass and drums. Calm.
6- Slow rock feel, a tad bluesy but slowly wandering/free
7*- Casual midtempo bluesy improv, pretty good
8*- Menacing buzz, fast tribal beat
9*- Melodic and a bit sinister, midtempo. Tinges of blues.
10- Anthemic guitar chords, with LONG pauses
