Bleep

Never quite pleased with settling on a single sound, the multidisciplinary mind of Greg Fox ricochets off the wondrous cosmic jazz and synth odysseys of 2017’s The Gradual Progression with the paired back percussion of Contact. We use ‘paired back’ very loosely here; there’s nothing about the cacophonous drum trills of ‘Arising and Passing’ and ‘Contact (sukha & somanassa)’ that implies mellowing out. A wily drum kit largely speaks for itself throughout the LP, invoking the same hypnotism one might feel watching a live drummer beat away at the skins.
