WOUNDED FHEALER SERIES: PART ONE

Make A Rising is a band out of Philly that has endeared themselves to some of the local avant-prog lovers with two fantastic long plays. Sounding like a quirky and skilled indie band gone RIO, a third LP has been long awaited by the bands followers. Lo and behold, the group decided to record a whole fifteen track LP over the course of what will likely be a couple years, releasing the components two at a time for free to their fans while they work out the final ideas, mixes, and listings. The first of this "Wounded Fhealer Series" is a flying start: "Super Sad" starts out with some scared fiddle and playful xylophone, and ends up with our singer rather jovially telling us how super sad he is. "Hi Vibrating Life" gives us "Hot Rats"-esque saxes as several vocalists sing along with a mechanical voice, and some great guitar also figures. Lots of fun, and gives high hopes for the project.
