EP Review/ Alt Rock : The All’s Eye’s ‘Saturday Sessions Live’
The All’s Eye is the sensational banner of creative and imaginative blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock artist, Ari Joshua, Ben Atkind, and Kris Yunker. The trio collaborate with fellow artists and musicians to create a sonic expanse that has never been heard of before. Starting off as jam sessions, these releases are the results of spontaneity, free collaborations, camaraderie and a revived love for music. Two of these spirited sessions and playful musical banter had made it into their latest release, ‘Saturday Sessions Live’. It is a double single that explores styles like country, blues rock, jazz, funk, psychedelics, and everything in between.
The abstract stylings in the gaps, the transitive flows and fusions are all so striking. It really showcases the passion and brilliance of the musicians that made the track. The first song is ‘Gramama’, a country rock track that is warped, bent, grooved, twisted and dug in with nostalgia, blues, and old jazz. The vocals climb into memories, unearth lullaby melodies, frames of life, and tying into the rustic country aesthetic. With fluttering accordions, coiling grooves, fuzzy riffs, and wandering bass lines, melodies, the song is a work of complete indulgence. There’s no stone left unturned, no whimsy ignored, no path unexplored.
‘Say What You Wanna Say’ is the next track. This one is made of the same sonic pallet and material as the previous track. But it is given a very sci-fi vibe. Funk is more in manifestation here. Its rhythm profiles, chunky textures, and vividness come all fused with blues. And that evolution is so dynamic and fun. The band takes it to infinites, detailing worlds, and sensibilities. The best way to enjoy the track is to just go with it. To embrace its randomness, strangeness, all its symmetries and asymmetries. Listen Now!
