Comments: The second solo album of talented drummer Zach Hill, who has played with everyone under the (California) sun. This album has a unique sound, something akin to an underwater orchestra of old-school synths and wailing guitars. The rhythms are relentless, progressive, and highly intuitive. As the album goes on, the music flows in and out of carefully organized chaos. You've never heard static used in so many ways. Hill's drumming is displayed in all its intelligent madness, but no matter the musical context he finds a way to groove. This album is the falsetto laugh of a madman. Give it a listen if you're looking for the breaking of new musical ground.
