' '
,: Welcome to the sound of Garcia Peoples at full speed. Without :,
: losing a ray of sunshine or a drop of dew, One Step Behind is :
:' the first major statement by the malleable Brooklyn sextet. The ':
,: 32-minute title cut highlights the twin guitars and songwriting :,
: of Tom Malach and Danny Arakaki and, instead of pointing itself :
:' towards one possible future for the band, just zaps itself ':
,: square into the thick of it. Encompassing a range of moods and :,
: scenes in one flowing arc (plus a coda), itÆs less a piece of :
:' music to listen to than it is a zone to occupy, a portal for ':
,: all open-eared heads. :,
: :
:' The bandÆs third album in a year-and-a-half, One Step Behind is ':
,: unquestionably their boldest yet. Formed in New Jersey by Malach :,
: and Arakaki, the band took a few years to find their flying :
:' shape, solidifying into a lineup with DannyÆs brother Cesar on ':
,: drums and Derek Spaldo on bass by mid-2016. Ramping up their :,
: acceleration around the time of their 2018 Cosmic Cash debut, :
:' theyÆve blasted through residencies and new songs and sessions ':
,: and collaborations, leaving a trail of live tapes in their wake, :,
: along with the crashing power of 2019Æs Natural Facts follow-up, :
:' and scaling ever upwards. ItÆs been a little dizzying to watch. ':
,: YouÆre jamming with who? Even so, One Step Behind might still :,
: come as a surprise to those whoÆve been keeping up with the :
:' tapes. ':
,: :,
: Recorded and assembled at Black Dirt Studio with Jason Meagher :
:' (Jack Rose, Steve Gunn), ôOne Step Behindö--and One Step ':
,: Behind--opens with the newest auxiliary Garcia: TomÆs father Bob :,
: Malach. A veteran sax player with a CV that includes Stevie :
:' Wonder, Madonna, Miles Davis, the Asbury Jukes, Arto Lindsay, ':
,: Barbra Streisand, and Steve Miller to (seriously) name just a :,
: few, the elder Malach contributes twin overdubbed saxophone :
:' parts, channeling Terry Riley--soon joined by Tom and Danny in ':
,: interlocking guitar bliss--before blowing it out at the end. In :,
: between comes DannyÆs floating song, more jams, and wild organ :
:' by Pat Gubler, ascending from auxiliary collaborator to ':
,: full-fledged Garcia, and providing a linkage from the GarciasÆ :,
: millennial jams to the freaky lo-fi sound scenes of æ90s :
:' Massachusetts. ':
,: :,
: ItÆs not quite the literal flip, since the title piece sprawls :
:' over onto the back of the LP, but the second song on the ':
,: album--only eight minutes--is another new move for Garcia :,
: Peoples, too. Written and sung by bassist Derek Spaldo, moving :
:' over to piano for the first time, ôHeart and Soulö is a more ':
,: contemplative place for the band. Appearing on record for the :,
: first time is Andy Cush, who occupies the bass chair for most of :
:' the bandÆs shows, Spaldo now dwelling outside of regular gig ':
,: range. Intending to record SpaldoÆs gentle song as a short :,
: postscript, ôHeart and Soulö grew into its own soundspace, as :
:' Garcia PeoplesÆ songs sometimes do. Gubler plays flute, and ':
,: they go full glow. :,
: :
:' With a stash of live recordings accumulating at the Live Music ':
,: Archive, Garcia PeoplesÆ music is very much a living entity. :,
: Since the release of their previous two albums, songs have :
:' started to expand, jam suites have grown, and experiments have ':
,: been undertaken. The first part of 2019 has seen Garcia Peoples :,
: back Philadelphia guitarist Chris Forsyth (an expanded Solar :
:' Peoples Band has hit double-drummer overdrive several times ':
,: now), and joined with guitarist Ryley Walker. TheyÆve improvised :,
: on WFMU, and jammed with the sounds of ocean waves and falling :
:' rain at strange late night happenings. Probably something else ':
,: new and wonderful and weird has happened in the Garciaverse :,
: since I wrote this. :
:' ':
,: Whether or not you thought you knew Garcia PeoplesÆ music, One :,
: Step Behind is something new and beautiful, for new heads and :
:' old. No matter where you stand--behind, beyond, or another ':
,: plane altogether--One Step Behind is ready. For those about to :,
: get on the Bus, we salute you. :
