INSTANT EVERYTHING

US band STOP MOTION ORCHESTRA was assembled sometime around 2013 by composer and musician Mohadev, and has since been an active live and recording unit in their local scene in Texas. "Instant Everything!" is their debut album, released through band leader Mohadev's own record label Egg Helmet.

Stop Motion Orchestra comes across as one of the most easy to like bands I have encountered among the ones I see described on various sites as residing within an avant-garde progressive rock context. Elements from jazz and chamber rock are tossed in to an adventurous and mainly uplifting frame work here, with liberal amounts of what might be described as Americana tendencies thrown in for good measure here and there. As Cardiacs apparently is a distinct inspiration for this band, I'd guess that those who tend to enjoy the exploits of that band should feel right at home listening to this CD as well, a strong and well made debut album by a talented, adventurous band it is.
