After|Life is the second album of McCarthy's in the nonet format as well as the second to be brought to fruition through support from the Vermont Community Foundation and the Vermont Arts Council.
Chris Pearson in The Times of London wrote, "Imagine John Coltrane's A Love Supreme driven by science rather than spirituality... while Coltrane praised God, McCarthy muses musically on death and rebirth in a cyclical cosmos and how we are all linked, down to a molecular level."
There is a lot of concept packed into this record and Brian guides us through it. We had some laughs, too, though, and this was a very enjoyable talk.
