The art rock quartet delivers powerful musings on nature and humanity on their African-inspired new release. Critic Charly Ruddell says, “If Salloway’s newest release is a monolith meant to represent anything, it’s the dire need for connection with ourselves and our planet.”
David Byrne posed a series of rhetorical questions in the song “Once in a Lifetime.
“On this album, we really hit our stride, creatively, and with the ethos and soul of what our band is doing,” says Salloway. From the album’s opening moments, the music resists classification. The spry “Flower to the Sun” presents the album’s diverse palate with flourishes of African guitar flutters, roaming violin lines and Salloway’s dry, conversational vocal delivery recalling poet folkies like Cass McCombs and Steve Gunn. “Smoke in your eyes/ A lover’s disguise,” he sings coolly, his voice shrouded in psychedelic textures and the staggered beat of a drum machine. “Wrapped in all the layers/ I see you in there.
“[On ‘Trying To Get Free’] I’m acknowledging that we were born into a world that we did not make, which is filled with both beauty and brokenness. I’m coming to terms with that and realizing our own power to manifest the world that we do want to create.”
