Really been enjoying this new release from Lucas & Corey... I've randomly listened to their music over the years, and this is the strongest album yet from this Brooklyn duo... really nice, low-key, quirky pop tunes thematically arranged around the tension between the east coast and the west... the laconic singing sometimes vaguely reminds me of Stephen Malkmus, but not enough to sound influenced by him... nice surf guitar solos, too... great job, guys! Keep it up from whatever coast you end up on... On Slobber Pup's Black Aces, Joe Morris puts on his John McLaughlin hat and rocks out, while Trevor Dunn channels Bill Laswell and Jamie Saft channels Larry Young channeling Mike Ratledge... powerful stuff... It was great to get together with Rodger Coleman over the holidays, and we were even able to make some noise together... it'd been a while, but it felt as comfortable as ever, and as usual his guitar playing knocked my socks off... still looking for them... Expect to see lots of Sun Ra, Charles Mingus, Grateful Dead, Cecil Taylor, and Anthony Braxton in my playlists in the coming weeks... on a kick...
