This third album by the truly alternative experimental avant-garde rock-jazz trio brings them stretching to an even more unique sound, oddly free-forming, woozy, otherworldly, and abstract. The combination of absract string combinations by Finlay Clark on guitar, the deeply soulful, vocal stretches of Jess Hickie-Kallenbach and vocals and David Kennedy’s atypical arrythmic drums (they formed at the Glasgow School of Art in 2015) stretches in a variety of strange ways, unique beats, melodies and directions. It’s quite a demanding listen at first, but the intertwining of all three is a strange drunken dance, from opener M M M to Pant to No Sleep Deep Risk, the lamentational sounds of More Boy, the use of a Lesley cabinet on Headlight, the layers of larynx sounds on Silver Grit Passes Thru My Teeth to closer More More Faster, this is a very strange, heady brew of neo-soul, slowcore, post-rock-jazz indeed. Out on Bison Records.
