What do reviewers say about Pentachords White and Modoc?
Five molecules. That's the brief Andy Tauer set himself. No safety net of complexity, no hiding behind a dozen notes. The result is powdery-iris that stays powdery, not powdery-then-something-else.Pentachords White
Iris doesn't wait its turn here. It arrives in the first minute and stays through the drydown, a rare move for a note usually content to linger in the base.Modoc
