Mesmeric fifth album by the Baltimore-formed quartet of polyrhythmic avant-garde rock, jazz, prog, also drawing on Appalachian, bluegrass, krautrock, African, post-punk and alternative tuning systems that pull you into their brilliant and beguiling world. Standout tracks include the gradually building Zero Degree Machine, the intertwining guitars of Mess Mind, and May Brigade with increasingly anarchic sax, and echoes of the jagged Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica, and Rundling, which sounds like the soundtrack to a fabulous wildlife documentary. The band are Andrew Bernstein (saxophone, percussion, electronics), Max Eilbacher (bass, electronics), Owen Gardner (guitar, electronics), and Sam Haberman (drums). An extraordinarily eclectic work of endless, energetic invention, repetition and variety, jest and musicianship. Out on RVNG Intl.
