churchily

As with Polar Bear, there are themes that often have jazz inflections but deployed in eccentric ways, and the players have a taste for slow builds and unusual instrumental colours – in this case the frequent use of minimally noodling, churchily plaintive treble figures from Downes's organ, set against rugged tenor sax or bass clarinet sounds, and creative percussion – playing that mixes power and playful surprises.
