An Albatross
plus
RICE, Wharton Tiers Ensemble, Marc Edwards / Weasel Walter Group
An Albatross is a psychedelic sonic orgasm; a barrage of mechanical, jerky and discombobulated time signatures eclipsed by hectic Farfisa organ/synthesizer melodies. Not unlike sitting down with an average American family during primetime television, the music is unquestionably attention-span friendly for an ADD-diagnosed society: unbelievably short, complex, infectious bursts of polyrhythms and spirit.
Currently, the "family" includes percussionista Steven Vaiani, writhing, psychedel-evangelist vocalist Eddie B. Gieda III, rhythmic contortionista bassist Jay Hudak, Farfisa/Hammond-master, Phillip Reynolds Price and newest family member: thundergod guitarist Daniel Schlett.
After relocating their facilities to spaces in both Wilkes-Barre, PA and South Amboy, NJ, in early 2008 the group began orchestrating their most robust and progressive work yet: "The An Albatross Family Album.”
