Small Pieces Loosely Joined takes on a flavorful sense of the discreetly free-wheeling - always tonally colorful. It's in the playful, paced nature of tracks like “Octatone Rag” that harkens back to themes effortlessly tossed off for Charles Schultz's Peanuts gang. But just when you think this is a standard drone in contemporary style, he changes the pitch, adds a bit of poppy beat and happy-go-lucky electronica into the mix. Primarily offbeat with hooks aplenty and far from slapstick, these diddies are central to the pavement Vert lays. “Til Morning” is a nearly 35-minute floating drone customized to sound like a cross between a Philip Glass score and an endless one-note from Laurie Anderson's “Big Science.” ~TJ Norris, Igloo Magazine
