Rollerball - Two Feathers (North Pole Records) Having been around some 15 years, Rollerball’s Two Feathers (their 14th album) is a musical experience that engages and draws from staple musical conventions and also embraces experimental trappings. Events begin with Mae Starr delivering a strong vocal to accompaniment from minimal, repetitive piano phrases. By “Rick Wright” the vocal has been enveloped in process before “Camera’d” introduces the jazz. Swathes of electronic mire and funky beats are never far from their grasp and they’re certainly not afraid to freak out, “Say it” has African laced rhythms and some circuit bent electronics, and “Horrible Madness” assembles layers of free jazz, noise and electronica. Always mindful to change direction when ideas have reached their potential - so nothing sours or overstays its welcome, especially when so many experimental groups allow themselves to wallow in their own doings – it’s quite refreshing. www.northpolerecords.org www.myspace.com/rllrbll Willsk Next
