Warehouse @ Fairfield Theater Company, The |
Fairfield |
CT | Covers a lot of ground! Textured, searching, intense at 7 min with Hatikvah influence. Tension builds with crashing cymbals by 10 min. Pivot at 12 min to patient, slow Chase Bliss Mood sounds with rolling toms and ride cymbal, then a shift at 16 min to upbeat keys and a bright repetitive guitar lick amidst a tight hi-hat groove. Building tension with peaky play at 19 min as resplendent guitar is balanced by Mike's bass accents underneath the groove. On a dime return to Northern Lights melody around 22 min. |

Charleston Pour House |
Charleston |
SC | Chunky-yet-understated riffing builds to an Alex Lose Yourself (Eminem) quote from 8-9 min. Hazy, whammy Jake touches punctuate peaky play at 11-13 min. Powerful drums! Head-banging play continues, e.g. 14 min, then a clever Jake move to reintegrate Northern Lights melody by 15 min. |

Brooklyn Bowl |
Philadelphia |
PA | Quietly explores, then goes silent at 6 min. Restraint guides the build. Moog touches 7-8 min as bass and drums help shape melody. Magnetic, e.g. 10 min! Piano and drums shift to kinetic, rolling space, e.g. 11 min, then a brief peak after 12 min, Hux tease at 13 min, and Shatter tease moments later. Jake trills up to an attention-grabbing, buoyed, joyful space by 14 min! Morphs via atonal Shatter passage and Alex and Dani pour on the tension, e.g. 15.5-17 min. Launches onto a peaky wave, catapults to Hux. |
