Our Take

CP UNIT's latest offering, "One Foot On The Ground Smoking Mirror Shakedown," is a whirlwind of sonic delight that will transport you to a world where jazz meets punk in a glorious collision of sound.

From the opening track, "Psycho Hearst," you are immediately sucked in by the band's raw energy and fearless experimentation. The off-kilter rhythms and dissonant melodies keep you on your toes, never quite knowing what to expect next.

Lead by the enigmatic Chris Pitsiokos on saxophone, CP UNIT's sound is a chaotic blend of free jazz, noise, and avant-garde rock that will leave you both exhilarated and disoriented. Tracks like "Rigged For Raphael" and "Jade Violents" showcase the band's ability to veer from frenetic chaos to moments of quiet introspection with ease.

The album's title track, "One Foot On The Ground Smoking Mirror Shakedown," is a standout moment that perfectly encapsulates CP UNIT's unique sound. With its propulsive groove and haunting saxophone lines, this track will have you dancing one minute and contemplating the mysteries of the universe the next.

Overall, "One Foot On The Ground Smoking Mirror Shakedown" is a bold and daring statement from CP UNIT that solidifies their place as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the experimental music scene. Strap in and prepare to be blown away.
