New #review today: "It might be easy to think of #Skullcap as #JanelAndAnthony plus one — that one being drummer / percussionist #MikeKuhl — but the personnel is where the similarities end, as this trio forms a complete group effort, from the bold compositions to the arrangements and execution." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ProgressiveRock #JanelLeppin #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/skullcap-snakes-of-albuquerque-3.html
