Guitarist Nels Cline debuts a new band on this album with Tom Rainey/dr, Christ Lightcap /band Ingrid Laudbrock/ts on this collection of moody originals. The atmosphere imostly veers from restrained to rocking here, with soft impressionistic strums and soft sax tones on pieces like “The Returning Angel” and the gently dark “Slipping Into Something” for the former, and the team jamming around Lightcap’s bass on “Question Marks (On The Spot)”. Cline and Lightcap are almost Andalusian on “Allende” with the leader going abstract with Laudbrock for “Time Of No Sirens”. Moods more than modes.
