Punkadelic - Inflorescence LP
An album of heady, instrumental rock highlighting a band deep in the throes of creative freedom, road-tested and wild. Consisting of 10 tracks in 42-minutes, it's a world where Duke Ellington and Augustus Pablo rub shoulders with crate-digger exotica, the freak-funk of Parliament and the 'anything fits' outsider ethos of acid-fried punks like the Meat Puppets. It's the sound of six hands creating a world that often sounds like the work of an ensemble three times the size.
What began as a pandemic-era solo project soon evolved into a trio, featuring Dillon (Ricki Lee Jones, Ani DiFranco, Les Claypool) on vibraphone, marimba, Prophet 6, congas, and bongos, Brian Haas (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey) on Fender Rhodes, piano, bass Moog, melodica and Nikki Glaspie (Beyonce, Nth Power) on drums, cymbals, vocals.
