Take One Car
If you haven’t heard Take One Car you may be in for a surprise. Billing the group as experimental certainly hit the target, though there is rock flavor somewhere in the ambient sounds on selections such as “Chapter 1: The Ceiling” and “Things Heard at the Accident.” Critics, reviewers and bloggers will probably find a lot of interesting adjectives for this Millerton, New York group and tunes like “I’m Not Dead.”
Urging the world to “stop using plastic” the band’s new CD carries the title When the Ceiling Hits the Floor. The term “fusion” has been applied to the mix of genres produced by Take One Car, accurately we believe. Making up terms to define a band can be a bit dangerous. However, “anger-jazz” might fit some of the music here. Reviews have indicated that this progressive/alternative sound can’t be defined. But then “Jesus Symbiote” and “The Entropy Sequence” are too straight forward to be free-form jazz. These efforts are more like high-energy alternative rock.
Information on the Web site shows this group has been compared to At The Drive-in, Bear vs. Shark and others. Based on early experience, this assessment is in the ballpark. Take One Car will find a niche audience among the young and disaffected. That’s what the Internet world is all about. Maybe it’s best to leave it there.
