Matt Block - The Lonely Sea - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

These three musicians sound as if they were destined to play with each other. Their interactions, improvisations and the seamless way their compositions flow from cut to cut feel instinctive. Extended exemplifies creativity. - OFFBEAT. Meeting in the storied musical environs of New Orleans, Honduran pianist Oscar Rossignoli, Pittsburgh bassist Matt Booth and Louisiana-bred drummer Brad Webb, bring their varied pasts together in the development of an expansive group identity through their distinctive writing and dynamic improvisational reflexes. With each contributing and structuring their compositions with awareness of the other's musical personalities, the feeling of a collective consciousness invigorates. From the cool groove and fleet soloing from Rossignoli on his own title track, to the galloping InchConnie,Inch or the delicate and open-aired InchLoft Spaces,Inch Extended creates a rich, sculpted landscape, much in the tradition of modern piano trios like E.S.T., but rooted firmly in the musical soil of their adopted hometown.

Suicide Squeeze is thrilled to deliver a reissue of Interloper, the 2020 albumfrom Holy Wave. Interloper sees Holy Wave adding new layers to their rich andmesmerizing songwriting style. Written about the duality between life at homeand life on the road, it sees the band expanding on it's most esoteric andthought-provoking themes. InchI'm Not Living in the Past AnymoreInch is a mantraabout breaking the cycle of the mundane, and InchEscapismInch is a dream-likemeditation. InchInterloperInch serves as the centerpiece for this self-expanding record,asking, what happens when the world beneath your feet changes so much thatyou feel like a stranger in your own shoes? The band turns inward to blissed-outmoments on album opener InchSchmetterling,Inch the saccharine haze of InchR&B,Inch andthe freak-out catharsis of live favorite InchBuddhist Pete.Inch With Interloper HolyWave weaves together a contemplative tapestry that can serve as a road mapfor the diffident, a soundtrack to self-realization, or simply an invitation toescape.
