CHAZ BUNDICK MEETS THE MATTSON 2 - STAR STUFF (LP)

BLACK VINYL LP.

"On this collaborative album, Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bundick teams with twin-brother jazz duo the Mattson 2. The trio swings between lucidity and lunacy and back again. Of course, as “Don’t Blame Yourself” illustrates in its dying minutes, Chaz Bundick Meets the Mattson 2 wouldn’t be a proper improv side-project without at least one baptism by drum solo. But even in its most indulgent turns, Star Stuff serves its purpose: After making an overly disciplined live album for zero spectators, it’s refreshing to hear Bundick really jam like no one’s looking."
