Our Take

Mike Gordon's latest offering, "The Green Sparrow," is a whimsical journey through the mind of the renowned Phish bassist. The album's eclectic mix of funk-infused grooves and cosmic lyrics will have you bobbing your head and pondering the meaning of life in equal measure.

From the opening track "Another Door," Gordon's signature off-kilter vocals and virtuosic bass playing shine through, creating a sonic tapestry that is simultaneously familiar and fresh. The album's standout track, "Can't Stand Still," is a funky, feel-good anthem that will have you dancing around your living room like nobody's watching.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "The Green Sparrow." Gordon delves into darker themes on tracks like "Traveled Too Far," exploring the highs and lows of life on the road as a musician. The album's closing track, "Hap Nappy," is a psychedelic instrumental that serves as the perfect climax to this sonic odyssey.

Overall, "The Green Sparrow" is a testament to Mike Gordon's enduring talent and creativity. With its genre-defying sound and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is a must-listen for fans of experimental music and fans of just having a good time. So grab your headphones, press play, and let Mike Gordon take you on a wild ride through the musical cosmos.
