Dancers: (3) from Three Hundred Songs

JIB05

31 has a nice melody and an incandescent vocal. 32 sympathizes with musical tourists like George Harrison. 33 is a straight-forward imitation piece, an exercise. 34 has to do with dreams and a bird significant. our lead singer is in top form here. conceptually, it's a dense work but we carry it off pretty lightly. 35 features a guest under duress and a middle eight on loan from someplace like Mesopotamia. 36 has a tri-part structure and draws on many sources, too many to enumerate here. 37 was a performance - we captured it. 38 is something you might listen to to relax, something you might hear on the relaxing station. in it, an immortal theme receives casual reappraisal. 39 tunnels through the 80s with a lantern from this year. 40 does too. 41 is restrained, that much shows. 42 took time to make, time and effort. 43 is a jazz song. one might imagine a band playing it, having lots of fun together. 44 is a playful composition that took lots of time to make because of all the choices that were made - an unusually large number of them. 45 is a choral piece. at the end, its artifice is stripped away cooly - it's a joke. 46 is a kind of folk offering. you're going to try to forget it. 47 went through many phases. it too is surely a folk music piece. 48 is classically composed, but sounds improvisatory. short but many-splendoured. 49 owes a debt to hip-hop but will probably welch on it. 50 is perfect for aerobics or just lunching with friends. it features a person on loan from Japan. 51 is just a repeated progression, effortlessly produced. 52 maxes out every single dial as though they - the dials - were straining to buttress the song's heroic melody. 53 is an early piece. clean melody and lots of feeling. we wanted to round out this our third and longest album with a bit of heart - for effect.

"listening to dancers could be compared to incessantly turning the dial on a radio on which all of the stations are creepy." - Elise Moore

"a real hodge-podge. this one is a giant mess. they're in the thick of forest now and the path is littered with everything but a map" - Dan Burke Vavra
