Multi-instrumentalists Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich take it slow on Friday, the fifth album of their week day album series. Maybe their minds were already engaged with the looming promise of a relaxing weekend for this one. That does not mean it is all smooth sailing. A Shower is interrupted by stops and starts, as if the water refuses to come out. No One's Off is a conversation piece, with the bass and keyboards having the upper hand, as the two dominant voices drowning out the other participants.
The two avant-garde musicians keep it close to home. Meeting the Kid for Lunch is quite gentle, with a skewed rhythm as the equivalent of the kid fidgeting and playing with his food. Si and Am is obviously inspired by the Siamese cats from Disney's Lady and The Tramp, in which the guitar strings were bended to get a feline sound. They bring the album to a close with the dreamy Simon and Garfunkel in Anza Borrego, inviting the listener to join them for a stroll through that desert park in California, just in time to catch the sunset.
