Their first album since 2012’s excellent Made Possible this is a thrilling, highly anarchic album and despite some early blurb that the interpretation is as literal as possible (bearing in mind it’s a piano trio here rather than an orchestra, presumably) takes considerable liberties with the ground breaking work and is a little longer. Iverson’s airy naked piano lines jut into piles of controlled dissonances pumping out space like a high functioning smoke machine to challenge our perceptions. Just take the opening: Stravinsky scored it for a bassoon up high in the instrument's register. The Bad Plus might have caused their own kind of riot if TBP had smuggled that baby in. By the end Dave King’s tattoo of tribal abandon on the ‘Sacrificial Dance’ section is less a case of letting go more a punk statement of intent.
