Playing alto sax and singing, Greg Ward teams up Matt Gold/g-eff-voc, Dave Miller/g-eff/voc, Matt Ulery/b-voc and Quin Kirchner/dr-voc for a collection of moody originals. The team is rockfish on the upbeat and heat producing “Crimson Clay””, with Kirchner driving the funky effects on “Dashing Towards First Light”. A lot of spacey moods are heard on “Noir Nouveux” and the impressionistic “Porthole Dreams” featuring Ulery”, with some unison dark work with guitar and pungent al to on ”Beware of the Oh Eee’s” Post pretty is the string and reed of “Ocean of Faith” and sleekly pulsating “Bravo Constantine”, with everyone on their best behavior. Pastels win over the dark brush strokes here.
