“A total set-your-sails, late night lounge-and-feel-it session. They range from spacey and fragile flotation devices to thick, hefty anchors of drone. It’s a cacophony, but still in calm waters. I feel like I’ve been saying a lot about boats and boating. Shit, just remembered the one dude’s name is Waters. Get this.”

“Guitarist Devin Friesen and local sax hero Nate Waters may have set the controls for the heart of the sun by teaming up to create their spontaneous compositions, but they’re navigating inner space by expert feel. Alternating between ambient drone and spiky textures, this is tightwire improv that demands a lot and delivers.”

“Musically the collection acquires unexpected dimension, as the two improvisers become accustomed to one another’s playing, with Friesen initially drawing out broad tones for Waters to skitter against and periodically strike out from in sharper exhalations of his saxophone. It’s easy to imagine how the sax could mechanically play against the open space of a drawn out guitar drone, but after the tape’s initial conscientiousness, the two advance into less measured sounds that feel truly symbiotic and unpredictable.”
