about

When Nels Cline sent us this track to have our way with, it came with the accompanying note: “It's....kind of epic. Hope I didn't overdo it!... It's...PROGGY!” And he’s right. It’s epic and proggy, but he certainly didn’t overdo it.

Come with us to the forest! Careful not to set your hair on fire! Dodge the floating orbs of prog as we steam full speed ahead towards a puffy cloud of reverby chord-love.

As we said earlier, this piece screamed instrumental to us - a tip of the hat to some of our favorite chamber-rock anthems by Mahavishnu, Tortoise, Rachels, Cheer-Accident, and even the lighter side of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Nels threw everything but the kitchen sink at this. All we needed to do was add the soap of rhythmic propulsion, and BOOM! Rabbit Rondo was born!

FROM THE ENGINEER’S DESK
Thanks Nels Cline, for sending a track that redefined our usual titles.
Carla - chanteuse and one woman symphony - became a cartographer, mapping our way through the dense forest of time changes and obtuse lines, creating elevations and a few grounding pathways for good measure. And Matthias did his Elv(f)in best to layer more counter rhythms than the Sherwood forest has bramble, all the while creating clarity out of confusion. Lucky me, hold on for dear life and count to eleven - a lot - and there it is.

After a year of guest guitarists, I'm humbled by everyone's creativity, talent, and generosity. Next year, the Year of the Vintage Synth???? (Just a thought.)

Yours, Jon.
