Below is a commentary by the label.

"Flexibility is sometimes presented as a humble quality born out of necessity. But it's the fundamental tenet for the extremely free-spirited members of Tamarisk, the improvisational trio made up of Christina Carter, David Menestres and Andrew Weathers. Their latest work is an extension of the interplay they've cultivated over the past few years of releases and tours. Like the oddest kind of jazz combo, Tamarisk skims orbits of quirky free improvisation, moody ballads, object play, staccato scrapings and meditations on landscapes and scenery. The vocals oscillate between polished and raw, reaching boldly into high and outer registers, and straddling the dramatic spaces between long intonations, spoken word elements, broken phrases and wordless speech. "The recording is underpinned by a wide range of techniques that brilliantly deconstruct pacing and conventional movement in music, favoring instead an ever-shifting variety of textures and timbres. Unhinged chords, dissonant counterpoints, a sprinkling of prepared work, strumming and bowing. This is a trio of keen listeners who are not afraid of intimacy or dynamic extremes, allowing for a deep exploration into their own core. Tamarisk seem to disregard time altogether, descending into a shared state of receptivity that yields strange and compelling results throughout the album."

Notice Recordings:

"Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it's a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they' ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv, moody balladry, object play, staccato scraping, and the contemplation of vistas and landscapes Vocals vacillate between polished and raw, reaching bravely toward the upper and outer ranges, long-intoned, with spoken word elements and dramatic pauses between broken phrases and wordless utterances, all awash in arrivals and departures. The recordings are anchored with a broad array of techniques that admirably deconstruct an understanding of pacing and conventional movement in music, instead favoring constantly fluctuating textures and timbral variety. Unhinged chords, dissonant counterpoints, sprinklings of prepared work, scraping, and bowing. This is a trio of sharp listeners who are unafraid of intimacy or dynamic extremes, and it enables a deep exploration into their own core. Tamarisk seems to ignore time altogether, dropping into a shared state of receptiveness that yields strange and compelling results throughout the album."
