MAN FOREVER
For Man Forever’s John Colpitts, the drum kit isn’t an ancillary percussive instrument, but the melodic foundation for an ecstatic experience. On Ryonen, Colpitts’ collaborative record with So Percussion, repeated drum patterns create a thick, droning thatch of complex polyrhythms, with moments of hallucinatory bliss. Listening to Man Forever on record is like being overwhelmed by a waterfall; imagine how powerful it’ll be live. (Patrick Wall)
