"“This is not your Daddy's jazz”! The DIY shapeshifting dark lord MXLX comes at us in piano trio formation, hammering away in ivory minimalist/maximalist drone bliss with EP/64 dynamo Dan Johnson on blurry sticks and Viridian’s Jo Kelly on double bass. Bill Evans will turn repeatedly in his grave throughout."
