Traverse

Milwaukee’s math rock troubadours return with their second release, "Traverse." This ambitious recording combines muscular math grooves with a free improvisational ethic. Recorded over a period of three weeks in a Milwaukee apartment, "Traverse" is an exercise in polyrhythm and melody, coupled with a driving approach which evokes imagery of a wide open road and the feel of a gas pedal being mashed into the floorboards.

Sonically, "Traverse" is a gorgeous expanse of tones and melodies. Recorded by Bill Curtis of Curtis Technology using his custom microphones and preamps, every note is available to the listener. From the idyllic expanse of "Bird Industry," to the stop-start urgency of "Standard Nice Room," through the release of "72 Spectacular Sound Effects," "Traverse" takes the listener on a journey to a place where words aren't necessary and melody is king.
