Press for “Magnetic Flux” and Zing!

 

 

“It’s as though a lunar explorer from Earth landed on a beach on some alien world with its enclosed package of musical samples melted together during the descent, warped it’s true, but still clearly recognizable as music.”

“The rhythm players dominate Zing!, with Kirchner’s tough rock-jazz drumming and Miller’s protean guitar sound driving the discussion. What distinguishes the challenging and captivating music on Magnetic Flux, though, is the role played by the horns. Their nuanced, predominantly acoustic interplay creates a provocative tension with the rhythm section—much of what the Davises are doing would sound normal in a conventional jazz band, but juxtaposed against the blunt instrument of the Zing! back line it becomes something slightly strange.”
