I knew I needed to choose a solo acoustic piece to round out this record, & this one flowed particularly well from “Cotton Candy Clouds”. My first usage of Open Ebmaj7 tuning, this piece was constructed in about 90min after the initial retuning. Gets you out of the rut of “dumb licks” & makes you think musically (right Steve? ;) ).
Channeling my inner Antoine Dufour & Don Ross for this one, & have had a blast with the improv. outro live!
The Mountain is a close second, but Iron Sights is my favorite tune on the album. From the gnarly bass riff to open it up, to Pig Riff mixed with heavy guitars, to that assault of an ending...this tune kicks hard! Alex Maiers
Anyone homesick for the classic sound of ’90s math rock will fall in love with the jagged guitars & tricky tempos on “LLC.” Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
