The album opens with “Swagger of the Tail Wagger,” a jaunty, episodic piece also gleaned from Flutter to Fuzz. On the supple, surging “Cascade” and the beatific closer “Tudo De Bom” the group plays with textural acuity and distilled lyricism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA New York native who moved to San Francisco in 1992, Amendola has been a creative force for more than three decades.
