This album is jam-packed with humor and excitement - delightful and whimsical tracks like “The Traveling Turtle” as well as powerful, introspective tracks like “Anomaly mvt. 4”. Kotche immerses himself in classical idioms like the string quartet without getting bogged down by them, creating something fresh and animated. Fantastic album!

I have long been a fan of Glen Kotche and Wilco and this new record is new exception. Kotche collaborates with the Kronos Quartet as well as Eighth Blackbird to create sound palette with an incredible depth of expression. Clearly an outgrowth of his work and compositions as a percussion, Kotche broadens his chamber music orchestration with this album to include timbres for strings, piano and percussion. The result is a joyous groove based approach to classical music. Treat yourself to this engaging musical journey!
