John Cusack's character Rob said in the movie High Fidelity, "I don't wanna hear old sad bastard music, Barry, I just want something I can ignore."
It's this sentiment that describes the third album from the New York-based instrumental outfit, led by composer and pianist David Moore. A modern take on classical composition, contemporary comparisons include Dirty Three (if they were perhaps Dirty Five) Gary Jules' Mad World and Erik Satie. Emotionally restrained, indiscernible interludes divide melodies both whimsical and melancholic. It's music fitting for Sunday driving/drinking alone, to fill an otherwise lonely silence.
