New Salt
Rating: 8.1
[Xeng; 2005; Post-Rock / Jazz]

After collaborating at several European art festivals, performing live scores to silent films, Geoff Farina (Karate), Dan Littleton (Ida) and Luther Gray have released an amazing debut that treads the ground between soaring post-rock and improv jazz. Along with Zu’s The Way Of The Animal Powers, the Xeng label has released two mind-blowing, genre-bending, avant jazz bastard children. However while Zu explored the harder, metallic side of free jazz, New Salt drifts into the hazy, psychedelic, space rock territory.

Opener, Harmonia, starts the album with a droney buzz, giving you the feeling of standing below a neon bar sign on a silent, cold, drizzling night. Gray’s sporadic beats usher the track along steadily, but at the pace of a drunken patron with no place to go, while Farina’s precisely placed guitar interjections form peaks and valleys of stimulation and sedation. Immediately following is the epic (nearly 14 minute) title track that builds from hypnotic reverberating guitars and hyperactive cymbals dancing at the pace of a secretary’s keyboard, to experimental noise and distorted guitar rock riffs that never let you get too comfortable in the track, but successfully justify it’s running time. Song for Che is the centerpiece that captures the essence of the New Salt sound. Nearly all elements to be found within the record are contained in this collection of tiny explosives that produce much more bang than they should. Couch Arizona’s strolling pace begins to usher you out of the hyperkinetic jazz experiment and into the slumber-inducing closer, Pouring Water on Stone. As the waves of the droney backbone meet slowly swelling guitars and soft, heartbeat paced clicks, the final punctuation is placed on a record that is comfortably familiar (but not regurgitated) and at the same time pleasantly fresh.
