When multi-instrumentalists Mike Keneally and Marcelo Radulovich teamed up with drummer Bill Ray for Bask, an album with demented funk, they had so much fun that they got back to the studio for a second helping, simply called Bask 2, so buyers of the first one did not have to think about snapping it up post haste.
The musicians settle into a groove pretty much instantly, now that they know what this particular branch of their output is about. Conversation is key, with Kennealy as the straight guy in the vocal department and Radulovich circling around him, with scattershot surrealistic snippets. The overall mood is a bit more laidback, a dance record that will get the condescending musos seriously considering to move their asses to, after the mainstream lovers have vacated the dance floor in bewildered disarray.
