Joe Hertenstein - Achim Tang - Jon Irabagon: Future Drone
By Track review of "Seven for Nothing""Seven for Nothing" is one of the more captivating tracks as Tang opens with a booming groove, layered by Irabagon's angst-ridden screeches, popping notes, linear flurries and gruff musical demeanor. Here, Tang is the conductor. And while the fragmentally flowing choruses may seem a tad introspective, the band's impetus is indubitably assertive.
The piece rolls along with an oddball concoction of avant expressionism and contorted funk. They methodically raise the pitch and drift the momentum as the drummer injects some slick stick-work into the closing minutes, answered by Irabagon and Teng's terse responses. Their shrewdly engineered closeout casts a zesty contrast to the overall muse for an album stuffed with gobs of mind candy and rousingly entertaining attributes.
