EXPRESS RISING - CD FIXED ROPE II

Popis - FIXED ROPE II:
The fourth Express Rising LP (and second featuring the expanded lineup of William Suran and Kevin Blagg, in addition to leader Dante Carfagna) finds the trio largely eschewing percussion in favor of twelve concise, three-minute-or-so-long bittersweet excursions that nevertheless retain the restrained, measured, and highly melodic scaffolding of their previous work. There's more than a bit of Santo & Johnny at their most somnambulant here, slightly glazed, definitely reverb'd out, mysteriously bottling the flaring, saturated light of the desert at dusk.
