lyrics

The Stumble reflects my fascination (as do all of the pieces I contributed to this record) with how the influences of visceral post-punk or extreme rock music interact with those of electrified avant-garde jazz, or 'free funk'. Growing up listening to groups like Kira- and Bill-era Black Flag, Ronald Shannon Jackson’s Decoding Society, Prime Time, and Unwound gave me so much inspiration and a life-long love of the sense of daring and excitement in these various and complimentary sounds. This is by no means uncharted territory, but deeply personal and aspirational for me nonetheless.

Musically it is just a whole tone-y 7/4 ostinato with an altered melody on top, in a humble homage  to some of Thelonious Monk’s ‘simpler’ songs.
