• • • • • It’s telling that originally formed as a way to accentuate band member Zoe Jakes’ unique style of belly dancing. In fact, Jakes still dances during their performances. But it’s equally telling that one of the most prominent musical tools the group uses during performances is a sampler.
Ultimately, it’s that combination of Middle Eastern musical forms with dub, jazz, and techno that makes their sound so unexpected. Ultimately, it gets back to the dancing. This is music to dance to. Or, maybe to have in the background of a hip coffee shop or travelogue TV show.
But mostly for dancing. The Oakland-based three-piece seems to draw some attention from both the “world music” crowd and the jam band world. And deservedly so. They combine the best aspects of jam music (fun, funky, instrumental grooves and a playful willingness to experiment) with traditional polycultural music. Unfortunately, though, they occasionally combine the lesser aspects of both, namely jam’s numbing insistence and the half-hearted, vague nature that the term “world music” embodies. For instance, opener “Egyptic” twangs and whirls gracefully, the electronic scrapes on the fiddle intriguing.
