on the leaves of all your majestic kinfolk changing hues in the clouds for the setting sun scribbling in the air like a dragonfly the words to a prayer that's been hidden in time back and forth weaving back and forth with tongues higher and lower realms snake is eating its own tail

words on the face of the messenger Lines unbroken on the ba gua Infinite possibilities Isn’t this supposed to be the land of free land of forgotten dreams Is a company you can break free and reclaim whats yours the spells of your words sink in over time the crest of a wave before It blends with sand and returns to the ocean a pendulum swinging unending...

continuous delusion going on dualistic thinking going on polluting the soil down there one of all the frozen that spring thaws nothingness in beginning and end disseminating all that feels wrong open the seam of new ways open the seam of old ways attenuated to one heartbeat non dual in the greater mind non dual on the oneness path non dual not in pain no more

about

Like last year's brilliant Wings Dipped in Fire (FTRCS398) this new album was recorded by Taylor Hales at Chicago's Electrical Audio. But this time, the duo (once known at Mako Sica) is joined not just by keyboard/trumpet master Thymme Jones, but also percussionist Hamid Drake, bassist Tatsu
Aoki (on shamisen) and bassist Joshua Abrams. A total post-form all-star line-up, with more combined chops than a breakfast table crammed with lumberjacks.
The mood on june 22 is weird and simmering. Blasts of heat alternate with spaced-out jam abstractions with Brent Fuscaldo's vocals and Przemyslaw Krys Drazek's guitar and trumpet dodging in and out of available crevices. As with all of this combo's recent music, exactly what genre they occupy is not easy to say. This is something they share with this generation of Chicago improvisers, who often seem to begin in jazz, but evolve into something much more intangible, mysterious and beautiful.
Just as Abrams' Natural Information Society is making sounds requiring multi-hyphonic descriptives, so Drazek Fuscaldo have dissolved categorical confines, although their journey to this point began in a rock (or post-rock) formulation. By now the music contains multitudes -- jazz, folk, world music, avant garde experimentalism and beyond. It defies being called anything other than MUSIC. Great music.
And to quote the Captain once again, “If you got ears, you gotta listen.”
Don't know what else to say, except june 22 is a killer.
--Byron Coley
