Man On Land
On this, their debut album, the trio takes the listener through many distinct musical landscapes and shifting moods. The propulsive opening track “Oomph” sets a high bar, and is followed by a bluesy treatment of “Hedwig’s Theme” from the Harry Potter movies. Friedland’s rugged yet suave “Lumbersexual” leads to Loughman’s sultry arrangement of the jazz standard “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was.” McMahon’s martial composition “Peddler’s Theme,” Friedland’s joyful ode to his newborn daughter, “Nora’s Swing” and McMahon’s L’Etranger” - a musical exploration of the book by Albert Camus of the same name - show off other sides of Man On Land, as does their take on the lovely Lennon/McCartney tune “For No One.” The album closes with Friedland’s driving cut “Late Night Snack,” and the cinematic closing number, “Listen.”
