Lord of the desert

"Bluegrass is often referred to as mountain music. However, Utah's 3hattrio, with similar instrumentation, dubs its style "American desert music."The distinction is hard to define but when you hear the threesome combine fiddle, guitar, banjo, standup bass and stark percussion, the approach is a uniquely barren and windswept evocation of, well, what you would imagine the desert to sound like. There are threads of psych-folk mixed with jazz, jam elements and a peyote-inspired haze that permeate these tunes, many of which don't adhere to traditional song structures ... It's a compelling, hypnotizing, uncompromising album that naturally pushes boundaries to create an idiosyncratic genre this band can rightly call its own".
