"Their catalog-number name is 'a comment on the generic quality of modern music,' states Morrison. At 29, he’s the old man of a group that has created a sound mixing Delta blues cum Memphis jug-band antiquities, metallic fuzz-boxed guitar spikes and a dissonant crackpots-and-pans aesthetic. The entire ensemble plays kitchen utensils on one tune ('Ain’ It Nice'), and fret virtuoso Zac Sokolow, 19, plunks a toy piano with his toes while frailing a five-string banjo. They further insist on separating themselves from the herd: The cover of ’21A, their sole album, is made of burlap."
