These twisted lines and curlicue exploits, heavy on the dynamics and tight scoring, may put one in mind of a certain period of Frank Zappa’s work, especially with their jazz-esque arrangements. Grenager allows other interpolations, though; one of the saxophonists comes close at times to delivering atonal free-noise solos in a semi-controlled way, and the prepared piano of John Helge Sætre (using sheets of paper to dampen the hammers) is also an eyebrow-raiser in this context. A most engaging package which functions on many levels of the modernist sweet trolley.
