Tentacles

This 30-minute EP is the first new Stick Men music in 6 years. Jam packed with musicality, its grooves and high energy are truly infectious. You won't hear this kind of music from any other band! With King Crimson ‘officially’ in retirement (until Robert Fripp changes his mind), the team of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter serves as a more than suitable alternative, with the sound wonderfully similar to the Kingdom’s ‘Red’ period. “Levin is on Chapman Stick, touch guitars and vocoder, with Mastelotto on various drums and percussion and Reuter creating soundscapes with his own touch guitars. The result is a mix of gorgeous textures as on ‘Ringtone’ and ‘Danger In the Workplace’ that mix ambience with ominous sonic atmospheres. “There’s also a thunderous pounding of drama on ‘Company of Ghosts’ and a relentless drum pattern for Reuter on ‘Satieday Night’ while the team rocks hard on ‘Tentacles’.
