“Melodic muscle”: HYMN reviewed at All About Jazz

We are so thrilled about our recent glowing review from Gareth Thompson at All About Jazz of our album Hymn! Gareth is a novelist and music critic based in the UK and he first found our music through our mutual love of King Crimson.

“Renowned for their combustible live performances, this band is way more than a troupe of melodic noiseniks. Indeed the compositional breadth and ambition on Hymn can fair take one’s breath at times. The numbers twist and spout with constant surprise elements, never leaving us in a state of stasis. If this changeful element comes from their close study of King Crimson, then all well and good. But a fluctuating aspect within any opus is welcome, to challenge creator and listener alike.”

We are grateful to Gareth for the kind words and to the wonderful guest musicians and friends who joined us for this album, Domenica Romagni on cello, Rachel Aubuchon on piano, Pascal Le Boeuf on piano. It was engineered, mixed and co-produced by Mat Leffler-Schulman at Mobtown Studios, with addition recording engineering by Zach Herchen, and mastered by Bill Hafener at Silo Recordings. And many thanks to Tommy Hambleton of Procrastination Records for releasing it!
