"Second album by Western Mass's most exciting live band is now in hand, and it's a swirling web of dooziness. Recorded by
Ted Lee
at Fayre Lawn, the team of
Mia Friedman
and
Andy Allen
have created a masterpiece of strange familiarities. Using a large array of instruments -- banjo, gourd banjo, fiddle, guitar, tenor sax, clarinet, flute, drum machine, etc. -- the duo easily transcends any real or imaginary boundaries of what's possible to do with just four hands. The results are as amazing as they are hard to categorize. Listening to the album for the umpteenth time, brings to mind a wide variety of things: an album I have of a high school production of
Lerner & Lowe
's
Brigadoon
(1954);
Virgil Thomson
's 1954 recording of
Four Saints in Three Acts
, his collaboration with
Gertrude Stein
;
Kronos Quartet
's cover of
Harry Partch
's 'Barstow' from
Howl U.S.A.
(1996);
Big Blood
's recent work with
Elliot Schwartz
(2016); etcetera. There is an air of mid-20th century avant-garde romanticism hanging like a veil over this project. It probably has something to do with the concept of creating a bridge between vernacular culture and experimental performance (even if that performance is unconsciously wrought), but I'm too damn tuckered to get to the bottom of it right now. Suffice to say,
All The Roots
is a mighty devil of a record. It fulfills the promise of
Hollow Deck
's live show. And that is saying a pant-load and a half." --
Byron Coley
, 2018 Edition of 300.
