Brent is one great musician... he comes up with a long melt, weir in tow, thrilling kits duet, so weightlifting, noisy bursty space into guitars!!! A+

sits low, and why? This is a must hear---galaxies of relentlessly searching craters and lacerating pinch technique and screwball jazzy lines, a soaring JG entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebk7DsxfSrU fresh hazard the goat strikes back

reaaaallly interesting stuff, the date checks out for a genius version. sifts and weaves through mysteriously brooding simmering soundscapes, broad planes of modal tonal happiness and groovemeister intuition, every stroke, hell even the little ones between is right where it's supposed to be. Permission is granted for each explosively satisfying development in dynamic, rhythmic emphasis, harmonic scales or roots. The puddle is tonal and it's a spanish proto wall-of-sound cryer. Returns to tasty mellow jazz with exceptional keith wah-wah work. The music of the earth's core and the cosmos colliding..
