FLORATONE

FLORATONE (2007)
320 KBPS

Guitarist Bill Frisell and his Seattle-based confreres have reached a point where their atmospheric, group-oriented, laboratory-style evocations of Americana can be approached less as experiments than works in an established sub-genre. Floratone, which introduces prolific L.A. pop drummer Matt Chamberlain to the mix, started as a series of duets between him and fellow electronics maven Frisell. Their work was processed by engineers Tucker Martine and Lee Townsend, who passed it back for further tweaks and embellishments, including Ron Miles's plaintive horn. The prevailing quality is one of stillness in motion, but Frisell's involvement in toxic blues and early country cut through the minimalist and Copland-esque touches, and the rich melodies make individual songs stand out.
