MUMPBEAK

Fueled by the formidable yet flexible backbeats of Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, Naked Truth) and grounded by the humungous fuzz bass tones of Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (John Zorn, Abraxas), MUMPBEAK as a stunning showcase for the creative keyboard manipulations of Roy Powell (@Naked Naked Truth, InterStatic, whose heavily-effected clavinet playing throughout emulates guitar gods on the order of Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Beck. Augmenting that core lineup is a cadre of low-end stars in bassists Lorenzo Feliciati (Naked Truth), Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) and Bill Laswell, who also produced and mixed the session for RareNoise. Together they create an imposing sound that is intricately structured, in the great prog-rock tradition, though far looser and more powerfully interactive than that genre generally allows.
