Synopsis

Product Description
7.1 ON PITCHFORK! Historical Arc: A few releases on US indie Troubleman Unltd., genre defying tours behind !!!, Stockhausen, Eye, & Deerhoof, a Pitchfork pick as one of the 5 artists to watch, & a personnel move (the bassist leave to join D. Banhart's band permanently, drummer Alexis moved to bass & Damo Suzuki/Daevid Allen drummer Warren moved in) actually making the band stronger. Now: Tussle move from the overt nod to Jamaican dub on their earlier releases to a more experimental & yet more pop approach on this new album. Dance jams meld w/Cluster-like ambience, Tropicalia-esque experimentation & even Bollywood rhythms. Also joined by legendary NYC duo LIQUID LIQUID on one track
 

CD Reviews

Seeing music with a telescopic mind (if you have a mind)
D. Hardono | Indonesia | 01/15/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"it seems the reviewer below doesn't know anything about Tussle. and maybe something worst, closed minded. it's not Tussle's mistake if your mainstream-stupid-mag called it tribal, 'coz for me it doesn't sound tribal at all (go listen OOIOO, Liars, or even Animal Collective if you want good-stuff-tribal-drum-sound). and don't judge too soon if you only have a little references.



Anyway, this album is one of my fav albums (and a must have) from 2006. After Andy Cabic left the band and become a full-time-hippie with his Vetiver project and team-mated Devendra Banhart's live band, Tussle's not dead. in this album their sound grows & improves even better. it's still less dubby and more spacious; the air that was clouded with reverb on their debut having been honed into a clear, sharp-edged rhythm instrument. it's kinda rare to find music so artsy & enjoyable at the same time like this. i agree with pitchfork who said their music can be described a bit like looking at a two-dimensional representation of a cube, as these two parallel realities, both equally valid, keep flipping back and forth in your perception. 2 drums, a bass and an electronica stuff played at their best sounds. sooo goood! really gooood!"
