Critters 2

Jazz / Jazz Funk / World Fusion / Worldbeat

For their first album in five years, the Seattle quartet continues in the instrumental jazz/electronica/funk/dub/experimental vein established on its existing catalog. Moody and eclectic but never frigid, the music succeeds by combining its diverse influences in warm, organic ways. Each track is a multi-layered microcosm of movement, and although there are plenty of danceable parts – along with some dancefloor-clearing ones – the album is best appreciated with headphones where all the intricacies of the tempo changes and especially the dynamic percussion can be picked out amongst the clatter. Even elements of prog – especially early King Crimson on the pounding "Punk Rock Guilt" – shapeshift into jazz and free form then back again with deceptive ease.
