Album info
“I will readily and happily admit that Tom Carter is one of my favorite guitar players these days. Few guitarists can be as simulateously delicate and discordant as him, not to mention all the ground in between. At times, there’s a sweetness to his playing, and at others it’s like listening to someone gasp their last breaths of air. Often, it feels like a wise sage extolling all the things he’s learned through the decades of his life. And he usually brings this bevy of talent to just about any instrument he plays. Carter is just that damn good.
So it was with great anticipation that his new project, The Friday Group’s, latest offering showed up on our doorstep. These three tracks are dense webs of claustrophobic improvisations. This quartet consists of the aforementioned Carter, as well as Shawn McMillen from Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast, B.C. Smith from Iron Kite, and Matt Martinez (who I think may also be in Iron Kite).
Three sprawling tracks (all over 10 minutes) are an absolute delight. They can go from absolute density to pure sparseness in the blink of an eye. Piano is scattered throughout the album like buckshot. It is often frantic and hurried, like an impatient child waiting for Christmas morning, but it gives the proceedings great balance to the contemplative, e-bow induced drones. These fleeting sonic soundscapes are the backbone to “Wet Fur.” In the midsection of “Skin & Bones,” they howl and whir into an endless frenzy.
Subtle movements on this album really highlight the talent of this quartet. They play off each other magnificently, knowing when to back off or push forward. As “Rabbit’s Foot” builds to its climax, this is especially prevalent. Each note is carefully chosen and perfectly strained, creating just enough tension to keep things together. It’s excellent. At the end of the track and continued through the last piece, “Bear Hair,” a harmonium emerges, offering gentle rays of hope. There is so much warmth in these notes, it’s like being wrapped in a aural quilt on the first day of winter. It’s magical.
At times, there is so much happening on “Wet Fur,” so many competing sounds that its easy to get lost in the vastness. But that is why this album is so good – there’s never a dull moment and there’s always something new to find. Listening to this album is like walking through an expansive, unknown forest – your eyes and ears are always searching and listening for that one new, extraordinary experience that will either kill you or change your life. This is that damn good. 8/10″ – Brad Rose
