Intricate structures develop from chaotic forms. Melodies burst from hidden nooks and crannies. Dense walls of sound stretch, bend, fall apart and come back together, only to fall apart again. The whole affair is executed with pinpoint precision by the CAPILLARY ACTION live band and a 9-piece-orchestra of strings, horns and classical percussion.
So Embarassing crosses neurotic mathrock with progressive jazz and new music, the furor of an electric guitar with the melodic expressivity of a Fender Rhodes.

by Kelly Reed

Pas évident de définir la musique de Capillary action. Cela dit, après avoir écouté les deux albums, une idée m'est venue ; une révélation ! En fait, si l'on prend tous les éléments musicaux et toutes les ambiances, on arrive à une synthèse de la grande histoire de la musique d'Amérique du nord et d'Amérique du sud. Les deux, mon capitaine ! Poesy Rider
