Who’s down for some adventure this Friday? ‘Cause from what I’ve heard, the great lockout of ‘14 is currently in effect, and the World Cup just started it’s second game about a half hour ago. So, while I’m out-and-about this Friday in NY, I’m expecting my adventure through everyone freaking out about soccer will be well sound-tracked by none other than improv-adventure-jazz-rock-psyche trio People. Thus, of course my current favorite jam is their second off their newest album (or shall I say The Misplaced Files), 3xaWomen.
Although the first track, “Prolegomenon” sets the initial mood, “These Words Make Up The Lyrics Of The Song” brings the albums thematic tone of playing every note and instrument in existence. Maybe that’s not ENTIRELY true, but beyond People sounding completely adventurous in sound, it’s as though they also shoot for that in musical ability. And as they’ve had difficulty releasing these 14 gems “after a series of label closings in the Great Drought of the late oughts,” 3xaWomen shines through on Telegraph Harp in full flavor. And if the faux lax in the lyrical creation of “These Words Make Up The Lyrics Of The Song” makes any impression in you as a listener, you’re in for a treat!
People is comprised of Mary Halvorson, Kevin Shea, and Kyle Forester, with Peter Evans, Sam Kulik, and Dan Peck helping out on horns. 3xaWomen is being released on CD/LP/digital via Telegraph Harp next Tuesday (June 17).
ALSO: Wednesday, July 2 @Death By Audio (around) 8pm is the PEOPLE record release party! Mary Halvorson (guitar, vocals), Kyle Forester (bass, vocals), and Kevin Shea (drums, vocals) with Child Abuse, Cellular Chaos and Angel of Retribution!!! Be there, sucka!
