JAZZ WITH THE MEGAPHONE
Through an explosive debut album, a trio composed of young men, already expert musicians, set the tone for a mature record, powerful and clear in its intentions, with a precise and articulated vision of how to mix jazz and rock with strength and character in an instrumental work.
The coherence and the depth of the compositions come together with melodic developments and explorations overflowing with ideas and variations which are stunning without becoming over-thought or pretentious.

Loops, Live & Otw
An edgy but tasteful set of compositions, mostly edited from electric and nylon-string guitar looping improvisations, some with some pretty kickin' drums, too - strange but friendly worlds await.

Seasick Blackout
Weston's last album, "not to be taken away," was described by Foxy Digitalis as "getting under one's skin and scraping at bone and sinew, making the listener wince in pain." "Seasick Blackout" is an even more sinister realization of that approach.

Apparition In The Woods
Patrick Fitzgerald returns with a record of haunting piano, electric guitar fx, chilling electrified cello from Semay Wu and equally ethereal background vox from his long-time friend David McAlmont. Another slab of literary inspired genius.
