Like a nervous married couple who refuse to try for another baby after their first miscarriage, band leaders Angus Andrew and Aaron Hemphill decided to go it without a bass player and create an experimental record that wears its “challenging” nature like a merit badge. It’s supposed to be a defiant sendoff, I think, to the fans who liked their good music, and a snide mealy-mouthed pout of “we don’t need no dang bass player!” that sounds more like...
...hunt and a Neverending Story type “nothing” that eats up the countryside and makes everybody crazy. It’s a cool concept, but I never saw folks dancing to no concepts before.

...then multi-instrumentalist Aaron Hemphill. Then there was a moment of expectation for the third member of the trio, until the audience noticed a hulking figure lurking in shadows along the wall stage right, poised to burst on stage—the six-and-a-half feet of Angus Andrew, dwarfing the microphone he grunted into, incomprehensibly Australian in voice, playfully clad in a tight black shirt with a gold sequined tiger pawing over his shoulders...
