Getting Warmer
Think Like A Key, 2025
9/10
Matt Tecu brings his drums, percussion , scratching guitar and mouth bass to Fernando Perdomo’s guitars, basses, keyboards, electric sitar and percussion for these 10 unclassifiable songs.
The thumping “Low Hanging Fruit” opens with a busy but precise climate that unfolds with plenty of rock influences that welcomes Rami Jaffee’s stragetic Hammond organ, and “Between The Sheets” follows with funk flavor, where the hazy delivery emits much soul.
Landing in the middle, “The Destiny Inn” is percussively strong and flirts with prog-rock, while “Foreign Correspondent” comes with a distinct dreaminess that’s pretty, cinematic and instantly memorable.
Closer to the end, “Sweat Weather” features Jaffee’s mellotron horns and saxophone that add much richness to the album’s best, and “Getting Warmer” exits with a moody and mesmerizing display of soft grooves.
This is the duo’s 2nd effort together, and much like the first, it’s an artistic affair that sophisticated, unpredictable and progressive in its own atypical vision.
Travels well with: Tremelos- Master; Ward White- Here Come The Dowsers!
