Description/Reviews: 

Liminal is a curious, questioning release, but it’s optimistic; approaching confidently and whimsically in place of the hesitant trepidation that characterized some of the band’s earlier work. Liminal laboriously arranges slabs of sparkling tonalities into flawless pyramids of consonance (and occasional dissonance). Like the most abstract modern architecture, the structures can appear peculiar and angular, like the melding of triumphant sax shred with an uneasy, shifting groove in “Deeply Woven.” But these occasionally incongruous elements coalesce into a concrete, innovative structure whose beauty and intelligence are less blatant and more subtly subjective than many instrumetal albums.
