SOLORIENS NATIVE UNITY QUARTET featuring MARSHALL ALLEN
Aerials and Antennas
Feeding Tube / Ornesco LP
Recorded live, American Legion, Post 82
Nashville, Tennessee, September 4, 2016
The music this stuff most resembles (if you really need a genre peg to hang it on) is probably jazz. The blend of electronics and reeds certainly brings to mind warped passages of many private press early ’70s improv LPs, although most of those ended up devolving into funky traffic jams. Anywhere on Aerials and Antennas, the music starts to do something that might be described as “simmering,” things quickly get weird. A horn takes off for Saturn, a voice starts mumbling as though spare change was just one prayer away, or the electronics emerge from wherever they were hiding to begin alien discussions.
Not sure if there was a film shown with this or not, but the effect is cinematic. There’s a great and blobby light show going on in my head the whole time it plays, never quite deciding which direction its audacious motion is headed, but always looking for an exit door otherwise hidden by the dull planes of reality. Nice work.
Aerial and Antennas makes for a gloriously stoned listen, as mysterious in its motives as that second Charlie Nothing LP. And what the fuck was that one about? – Byron Coley, 2019
