Description/Reviews
For this trio, that means the resonance of indie rock, the swagger and thump of hip-hop, the multi-sectioned construction of prog rock and the deconstruction of experimental fusion. Jazz? It’s hanging in there by a thread.
...
If you asked these guys, they’d probably tell you they play the music with a certain vibe in mind, and let the resulting music itself determine what style it’s being played in. Some basic ground rules do apply for Worker, though: a dirty, analog-y sound, the diminishing of lines between composing and improvisation and recording these song mostly live. About the only present-day device used in making this music is looping, which is done right, because it makes the trio often sound like a quartet or quintet and never appears gimmicky.
