About This Item
The kaleidoscopic sonic agriculture of Wet Tuna has long inhabited it's own universe. Over the past five years, they have established themselves as one of the most forward thinking and anarchic of the many groups rethinking and reconceptualizing the notion of the Inchjam band,Inch all the while frustrating critical attempts to slot the group's music into any scene, sound, or easily classifiable genre fad. For Wet Tuna's latest, InchWarping All By Yourself,Inch Matt InchMVInch Valentine-occasionally aided by longtime collaborators Samara Lubelski, Erika InchEEInch Elder, Mick Flower and Doc Dunn-flies mostly solo. Continuing the Tuna's m.o. of homegrown, dubwise psychedelia that eternally pivots on the edge of chaos and funk, InchWarping All By YourselfInch is as radical and beguiling as anything in the band's-or, for that matter, it's principle architects'-discography. There remains a beautiful simplicity at the core of Matt InchMVInch Valentine's workbench alchemy; as with the music of Can, there is in his productions almost always a lodestar fixed within the eye of whatever maelstrom or fragmented primal abstractions surround it. On InchWarping All By Yourself,Inch funk and soul are both the unifying principles and the unlikely bedrocks upon which everything else orbits and rests, resulting in a concoction of iconoclastic, free-dancing music that has as much in common with Funkadelic as it does Crazy Horse. The kinetic, psychedelic, and downright fun InchWarping All By YourselfInch serves as further proof that the most visionary, truly original American art continues to be made on the margins.1.
