Definitely! They've got a lot of understated but really cool instrumentation on this one. I tried drumming along to a few of the tracks, and it's easy enough to get a decent groove, but the subtleties they're actually playing are just completely wild. Like a jazz drummer just going nuts and doing his own thing, but just softly and real gently mixed. It's pretty impressive.

I finally got a chance to give it a listen and I really enjoyed it overall. The jazzy song structure of the first few tracks (chorus-instrumental improv-chorus) was a little off-putting to me, but after about halfway through I was really everything they were doing. I don't know why but every time I hear an upright bass organically mixed into a rock track it gives me a nice fuzzy feeling. I haven't heard anything of theirs since Contra released and they've definitely come a looong way in terms of mixing and composition.
