This is apparently the second release from this Bay Area combo and it is an impressive 6-song batch of mostly keyboard/piano-based art pop. Musically, they really mix it up structurally with the tempos and dynamics with interesting arrangements and solid musicianship, giving it a kind of proggy feel. The best reference point I can give you is Gastr Del Sol, though I'm sure there's a much more apt comparison. The vocals occasionally remind me of Ken Stringfellow. Whoever is in charge of lyrics (presumably singer/keyboardist Rohner Segnitz) loves him some surrealistic imagery, such as "I had a friend who picked up
an orchard / With his bare hands / And placed it up in the sky". This is not my usual cup of tea, but it's definitely a strong effort and a worthwhile listen. Nice cover design, as well. (mike.08.04)
