This is a dense & intriguing album. Profound.
The singer exudes total ownership of the material, which moves through
diverse modes and moods. Soulful and intellectual.
Impressive. Psychedelic
singer-songwriter blitzes, some quite long, everything feeling free & easy,
open & wandering. A real treasure
trove, there’s a lot of lyrics that I get in glimpses & glimmers. The package design is cared-for, classic. There’s so much to unpack. As a beginning, it barrels into a psychedelic
assault of rollicking drums, full-tilt beat-poet gush wallowage, and guitar
squall, then a pair of woodwinds blow alongside the rumblings of low-frequency
noise. There’s theater, camp, pathos,
shifts & movements. All art, all
freaks. I bet if I had a better
appreciation for Frank Zappa I’d be better at describing this album. Inspiring.
