Description

This album scans as �jazz fusion,� but the results conjure �70s R&B as well as the contemporary Los Angeles beat scene and hip-hop.The genesis of the Breathing Effect can be traced to its fascinating 2014 EP, on which Goss and Terrell spread aquatic rhythms over five tracks. From ��Layers of Thought�� to �Losing My Mind�, the resulting mixture was equally soothing and mesmerizing; the EP as a whole worked just as well under clear or gray skies. Mars is more upbeat than its predecessor, though the opening tunes��Forestial Things� and �Cloudy Afternoon�� continue the EP�s mellow ambience. Yet by the third song, the two-tiered �Cold Meteor Showers�, Goss and Terrell hit a stride. In a way, Mars plays like musical theater: It�s driven by space travel, and follows the story of two lovers cruising the galaxy with no concept of time. Tracks like �One for the Mountains By the Sea� and �Twenty Years Altogether� recall spacious isolation, of couples escaping life�s hustle to be alone with each other. It�s a notion evoked on album standout, �Weightless Reality�, where Goss, Terrell and guest vocalist Kalia Vandever sing of a fantasy world of waterfalls and underwater utopia. Whether or not they�re depicting planet Mars is anyone�s guess. Still, the music conveys a very real narrative while using few words, which is usually a tough task for most instrumental albums.
