Tera Melos performing Until Lufthansa off the album X’ed Out

Very high-energy and fun punk song from this trio. Interesting choices from each of the musicians in their styles and approach, the drums are not like I’ve ever heard, and the guitarist uses pedals like I haven’t heard, their bassist is so solid too. It’s got a fair runtime and a really nice bridge.

What time signature is this?

#nowplaying #thenecks #2020 #music . The Necks performing Further from the album Three

Absolutely incredible downbeat improvisational post-jazz ambient piece by The Necks, at 21 minutes it really drives the rhythm home, the snare keeping things held down with a rimshot, then a snare, repeating. Hand percussion backing the mix, and small chimes fronting it, a wonderful bassline, a driving rhythm coming from the mix of the bass and drums. The piano is serene and focused, carefully playing repeating descensions on both hands, coming in and out with a loose but timely way. Very engaging rhythm, thoughtful melody, careful attention to change in the improv, absolutely wonderful song.
