Easygoing instrumentals from the bassist for Ani DiFranco (who makes appearances on 3 and 4). Pretty stuff, but not sleepy. Gentle, chiming electric guitars feature heavily (indie post-rock fans take note), but the horns get their say too. Great stuff for a lazy summer day. For similar music with more experimentation, check out Jim Black's Alas No Axis.
1- Mid/fast, gets into a chunky kind of groove. Heats up with a guitar solo later.
2- A bit of stern funk. Twangy guitars over a curly bass riff.
3- Tense two-chord pattern and wordless vocals, into a nice middle-intensity horn line. A touch of funk in the guitar.
4- Slowish, languid, pretty. Quietly intense trombone solo.
5- Easygoing.
6- Beautifully spun. Mid/fast and open-aired. Really nice violin.
7- Sunny, funky, a touch of South Africa?
8- A sultry march with wah-wah muted trumpet
9- Relatively quiet. Soft. With professional-sounding whistling (actual, human, with-the-lips whistling.)
10- Perky and bright, but still breezy. Freakout ending.
11- Slowly tuneful conclusion
