Show Review by Penny Keeler: What? You want me to create a blog post? What? I have to pick my favorite Loading Dock show for December. ...What? is my pick for this task. Thats right! The band is called WHAT? This show left me thinking, "WHAT the heck just happened!"
We thought we would try something different with the review. Both Kerri and I have been texting back and forth every time we are listening to this album, both of us have been heavily moved by the recent release from Oceanator, Things I Never Said. Here are a collection of impressions from Kerri and I about this amazing new music.
As Ruckzuck releases their 5th album the band is continuing to recombine in surprising directions. The epic proportions of tunes like Keystoned State give a window into the anthemic nature of this band as they weave out songs that evoke the arms of the cosmos. Each of the tunes on this record are mini expanding universes where the parallel dimensions snuggle in warm vibrations.
This album was recorded over 41 years ago during the summer of 1978 in Ithaca, NY by Drew Schlesinger and David Torn and recently rediscovered and finally released via Drew on Bandcamp. Summer Synthesis 1978 sounds super fresh right now especially with all the renewed interest in early synth technology and sounds. There is a pragmatism to all of the playing on this record. Yes, there is lots of experimentation but not at the cost of creating incredible music.
Albums that start off with a bang, like the latest from guitarist Pravin Thompson, are hard to ignore.
This record opens up with pure grit guitar and bombastic drums. Pravin and his band sets the stage early on with the release of A Thoughtful Collapse.
