Kneebody flies above the label zone,
crafting instrumental, postmodern music that jukes convention
and genre. If the group's intricate compositions had to be filed
away in a record bin, chances are they would rest in the jazz
corner, but the Los Angeles quintet touches on post-rock,
classical, and avant-garde forms as often as the flirt with
swing. Last year's Low Electrical Worker finds the band
stretching out in odd meters with equally odd instruments,
getting loud, having a blast - and maybe even reinventing music
a little in the process.
