Lightning never strikes twice, they say, but it does happen. Bask is the second collaborative album by multi-instrumentalists Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich and it does not sound much like their first Monday. There is quite a lot of demented funk on it, thanks to bringing in drummer Bill Ray, and some decidedly weird vocals can be heard in each track, with guest Donna Ray being in full-on freak mode a la Captain Beefheart on two of them.
Bask is a maze, a musical kaleidoscope that can induce dizziness but in a good way. It is a trip without any of the nasty side-effects, but once you're in, there is no way out. To be enjoyed in one sitting for maximum effect and enjoyment.
