Description
A most pleasing and ear-tickling set of pieces, electronically and acoustically mysterious and foreboding.
Notes
Montréal-based trio Pink Saliva produce music that’s at once intensely deep and readily accessible. Accessible because drummer Michel F Côté lays down earthy rhythmic patterns that sound beamed to the planet through a reverb-y, distant mix. Intensely deep because trumpeter Elwood Epps puts so much passion and focus into each and every sound, from kissing lip smacks to achingly beautiful single notes, suspended over the insistent thrumming of Alexandre St-Onge on bass and laptop. All the musicians are technically ultra-adept, but you won’t find displays of ego or pyrotechnic showing-off. Mood and atmosphere are carefully created and sustained with attention to sonic salience. The trio often delves into what sounds as the offspring of Throbbing Gristle and Bitches Brew outtakes. Epps, a Toronto native, and his Québécois confrères, embrace electronics, adding oscillated wave forms and crackling drones to everything they play, negotiating the line between indie-rock and jazz-improvisation. All in all, this CD is studded with soaring lyricism.
