Rated: ***
Alright. Let’s go Wikipedia on your ass! Warp and weft are the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft (sometimes woof) is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp. There ya go, for the rest I refer you to the Wikipedia page itself. And now we should use the knowledge we garnered and weave it into the review about the new Dead Reckoning album by New York Foursome The Warp/The Weft. This is psychedelic folk and languid prog that goes for the wide vistas and grand motives. This is different, this would make jam-bands like Umphrey’s McGee go: ‘shit, this is the way to make our experiments come together in the end.” And those are just some thoughts that pop up during the first three songs. But then comes the epic Our Fortune; which starts out with a tale before it grows and pounds like a stranger bringing ill tidings… Shit, this is different. This is good. And I would have loved to see Our Fortune go on and on and develop into the storm it could have become. But we’re lucky that Dead Reckoning has ten such tracks, folky, proggy and very moving!
