“A story of mental health and the psych ward.”
From the sonic buffet of jazz-adjacent madness: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C.'s Second Entrée explores home video rental, flavored footwear, and specialty cakes across rock, jazz, metal, and electronic stylings — fans of the Jerky Boys, take note. Their Conscious Release delivers 23 tracks of "nonsensical mindfulness" for those who prefer to meditate toward madness, while Unconscious Release reveals what sounds emerge once that mind finally opens. syn.terra's Mechanical Jazz welds pianos, horns, and upright bass with distorted synth saws, and Kharybdis takes it swampward with piano-driven industrial jazz grooves and dangling vines. David Dellacroce rounds things out with atmospheric solo guitar that sounds "like a household appliance achieving enlightenment."
“Four instrumental pieces using synthesized guitar sounds, in a classical-neoclassical-jazz fusion vein.”
“Atmospheric guitar, creating a mixture of modal melodies, drowsy drones, chordal consonance, and arbitrary alliteration.”
