Creative Healing
is a new Massachusetts combo mixing the folks from
Hollow Deck
(
Andy Allen
and
Mia Friedman
) with three old pals who also passed through the Ran Blake Paddle Tunnel at NE Conservatory (
Katie McShane
,
Jesse Heasly
and
Nick Neuberg
). The results are, as the old men say, a real gas. Although it's not a constant, there are moments throughout this album where the swonky collision of sax, guitar and drums puts me in mind of several classic versions of
Beefheart
's Magic Band. Nothing along those lines in the vocal department (which are often delivered as casually as they might be by
MX-80
's
Rich Stim
), but some of the harmonic threads are definitely of a
Vliet
-ian ilk. But there's more horn and overt jazzliness here, and also a dual tendency towards straighter and skronkier passages that would be outside the Magic Band's realm. The female vocals, when they appear, lend an edge of sophisto-mystery. It's not entirely unlike the way
Dagmar Krause
's parts worked during the later days of
Henry Cow
. As you've probably gathered from the references, this is art rock played at a very high level. There's no real nostalgia in it, however, the essential whatsis of their music is fully contemporary, and has lots of mechanical detailing that places it squarely in the post-post-hardcore stream. But it's also rooted in the great eternal gush of progressive music is all its many guises. And if that makes it seem like there's a little bit of everything here, well so be it. RIYL anything anywhere between
RWA
,
Slapp Happy
and
Men & Volts
