The third full-length release, and second vinyl release from former Jawbox drummer Zach Barocas' New Freedom Sound series of compositions. Now based in New York, Barocas assembled a stellar ensemble for the project, including a number of longtime leading lights of the DC music scene: Jawbox bandmate J. Robbins, cellist Gordon Withers, violist Amy Domingues, singer Janet Morgan and Swiss Army knife Mark Cisneros.
“Fourteenth Freedom” combines the mannered, layered approach of contemporary composers in Barocas’ current NY environs, with the perilous liberties of improv jazz, along with his own past as a DC post-hardcore rock star with Jawbox, all orbiting a cadence that evokes childhood play. “Twelfth Freedom” is even more transporting, with the ensemble's focused interplay bringing out the hypnotic, cosmic elements like a good dub mix.
