Show #761 – 7/20/25 (LAST EPISODE)

July 20, 2025 at 2:38 am | Posted in The Answer Is In The Beat | Leave a comment

I’m moving away from Ann Arbor and I don’t want to drive an hour each way late at night to do this show, so I’m ending The Answer Is In The Beat. At least as a weekly show.

Jonathon Crompton: Cantata No. 1: An Island Seen and Felt (Amica Records, 2025)

Jonathon Crompton: Cantata No. 1: An Island Seen and Felt

Australian expat Jonathon Crompton composed this three-movement suite as both a reflection and celebration of his homeland, as he felt homesick and recalled memories from his childhood. The pieces are performed in a modern version of the cantata form, with narrative lyrics and imagery as well as spiritual connotations. The arrangements primarily consist of strings and soprano operatic vocals, though the electric guitar on the first movement is quite jazzy. Crompton’s own alto saxophone playing is wistful and delicate, but most of the emotional weight is carried by the string quartet, who swell up like rushing waves, particularly on the second movement. The third and final movement seems to be the most nostalgic, aching deeply for the beaches, the plains, the woods, the sunsets, the landscapes of home.

Three-Layer Cake: Sounds the Color of Grounds LP (Otherly Love, 2025)

Three-Layer Cake: Sounds the Color of Grounds LP

Three-Layer Cake brings together legendary Minutemen bassist Mike Watt as well as percussionist Mike Pride and guitarist/banjoist Brandon Seabrook, both of whom, like Watt, have been in too many bands to list. Watt’s bass tone and close-miked narratives (on the first track of each side, and “The Lonely Sail”) are unmistakable, but these songs generally exist in a free-flowing improv realm instead of anything overtly resembling punk. Some of it is mesmerizingly trippy, like the echoed drumming and slashing riffs of “The Hasta Cloth”. Other tracks have nice, ambling grooves, and feel casual but not really jammy. “Tchotchkes” is a warped reggae exotica tune with marimbas, which somehow works. “Lickspittle Spatter” is the album’s most drum-heavy eruption, making it sound like something’s cooking, like the title suggests.
