Beings - There Is a Garden (CD)

On Beings' There Is A Garden, shapeshifting melodies highlight each players' voice. In one second, the album may sound hectic, teeming with craggy, unpredictable melodies, but by the time the next track rolls around, it'll transform into a psychedelic reverie or blossom into a sprawling drone. For Beings, the NYC-based supergroup quartet of Zoh Amba, Steve Gunn, Shahzad Ismaily, and Jim White, the music flows naturally: It's an ever-transforming organism built on the quartet's openness and willingness to explore, together.
