The freedom afforded this sax/guitar/bass/drums configuration means that rarely, if ever, do these players stand in formation. Despite the marching band origins of New Orleans funk (evidenced through Sebastian Merk's relentlessly funky snare drumming on the opening ?Haddad? and elsewhere), strict order is something these players prefer to except, not accept. At certain times you can detect the sort of repetitive, interlaced rhythms that probably came out of West African trance music and flowed through the filter of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time units and Steve Coleman's Five Elements. ?South Goes? has this sort of energy, fueled by Kalle Kalima's off-kilter guitar vamps locked in with the rhythm section. Saxophonist (and co-composer) Josh Yellon rides roughshod up top, also bringing back to mind the aforementioned saxophonists' occasionally anarchistic efforts. Again, there's a strong hint of order, but it serves more as a counterpoint for musical interaction and melodic invention.
More experimental timbres come through in the form of odd guitar plunking and effects, whispering and overblown saxophone, though for the most part the group prefers relatively clean tones. The closer strays very close to the border of free jazz, but never really crosses the line. The stark open-mindedness and fearless genre shifts that characterize this record may unsettle the average jazz listener, but that's because you're not supposed to sit when you listen.
