| The Bird's Robe Collaboration Band - Absolute Silence Jazz, Rock, Experimental, Instrumental | 30/08/2011 |
In 2010, Bird’s Robe conceived the first in a series of collaborative projects combining the talents of various musicians working in Sydney’s experimental / progressive rock music scene.
It may not live up to its name, but this track is the definitive example of collaboration in action. With its jazzy melody evoking Frank Zappa circa 'Hot Rats' it settles in comfortably before giving way to a crunching rock outro worthy of the best prog bands around. Whimsical, exhilarating.
