Album Notes

'Iota' is 1 of 3 limited-edition bootleg recordings. We kept running out at shows, so we thought we'd sell them here, too. It is now forever out of stock, but you can download it now for FREE on our website!

Here's more stuff about the band...

THE UNPRONOUNCEABLE IS NOT A MAINSTREAM POP BAND

You might think that a blend of influences such Duke Ellington, Radiohead, Muddy Waters, and Black Sabbath would strike the musical palate like an unwitting cocktail of orange juice and toothpaste. But since its inception, this eclectic hybrid jazz rock combo has developed this seemingly insensible mix of sound into a complex and sweetly addictive flavour.

The organization was formed in northeast Pennsylvania, born out of a two-man open mic experiment expanded rapidly into a four-man six-piece with a penchant for swapping instruments on stage between songs. They gallivanted through the area, cutting their teeth in the smoky murk of the Lehigh Valley, and on the popular downtown Philadelphia stages of the Tin Angel, the Grape Street Pub, the North Star Bar, the Pontiac Grille, as well as an assortment of sub-urban beer halls, snow-bound colleges, side-street festivals, and small town weddings.

If you do not embrace the unpronounceable, you will be very sad, and bad things will happen to you, always.

A Taste Of Brilliance
author: Jeremy Spivey
A taste of brilliance. A laid back mixture of jazz, folk and rock, this mellifluous melding of genres is catchy yet never repetitious, fast yet controlled, thoughtful yet accessible. If this "bootleg" is something that appeases your musical appetite, but leaves it unsatiated (with only 4 songs, you may be wanting more in 30 minutes) please check out their studio release "Simultaneous Organisms" at http://www.cdbaby.com/review/unpronounceable . According to their website (http://www.mogensmusic.com/unpronounceable/welcome.html) their new release, Elementary Physics, is due for release in August.

Awesome music
author: LW, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania
Hearing this live recording is almost as good as hearing them in person. "Capable arms" is an excellent example of this originality and style that I haven't heard anywhere else. I'm always impressed with this band, I suggest owning all of their music but definitely get out to see them play if you can!
