To what extent does “control” become something practiced within the confines of losing it? Take Rob Magill’s “Steer Away To Us” for example as a practiced and coordinated effort involving the loss of control. One can hear a voice vying for a piece of clarity through the wind and string and drumming. The drumming claiming a thump and light-snare as its own corner of faux-monotonous improvisation. Dueling saxophones clashing intentionally in climax with the others in collaboration of the askew. And dragging guitar licks ringing into the air as signals of simply: form-of-life. Rob Magill always has a plan, and “Steer Away To Us” becomes another masterpiece in the mind of music. Painted in strokes thick and thin, tangling mentalities into contentment.
