Imbued with a sense of both desperation and discovery, each track unfolds like a deep sea voyage: beginning on the familiar ground of a conventional song structure before setting sail for the open waters of instrumental experimentation and plumbing the depths of the unknown in search of some conceptual treasure before heading back to port. With soaring melodies, spiraling polyrhythms, free-wheeling improvisation, and a raw, stirring vocal performance from Rossiter, The Whole Thing Is Just There is both prismatic and resolute—the sound of four individuals in pursuit of a common goal: to glimpse what’s just beyond. https://www.facebook.com/YoungJesus/ [https://www.facebook.com/YoungJesus/] NEW MEASUREMENT GROUP is a new band by Jeff Day (of Never YOUNG, Crush, Ziplock). https://newmeasurementgroup.bandcamp.com/releases [https://newmeasurementgroup.bandcamp.com/releases]
