CLANDESTINE QUARTET - VINYL ONE FOR THE FOSSA, TWO FOR THE WOLVERINE [VINYL]

Popis - ONE FOR THE FOSSA, TWO FOR THE WOLVERINE [VINYL]:
Debut LP from the Clandestine Quartet, bringing together Alan and Richard Bishop with Michael Flower and Chris Corsano. The quartet spent four days in the studio developing material and recording the seven pieces heard on this album (accompanied by two digital bonus tracks). They settled, for the most part, on something approaching a classic rock quartet line-up: Richard Bishop on electric guitar, Michael Flower on his signature amplified 'Japanese banjo' (an Indian keyed zither), Alan Bishop on bass and Chris Corsano manning the drums. Rather than a straight-up improvised blowing session, the LP strikes a balance between free-flowing spontaneous interaction and structured surprise, alternating between zoned-out group meditations and stop-on-a-dime unison dynamics. Effortlessly balanced between improvisation and composition, melody and noise, rhythm and space, the Clandestine Quartet is a fitting next step for this group of psychedelic troubadours, showing them drawing on their past accomplishments but never content to stand still.
