The Nels Cline Singers - Macroscope (2014)

'Macroscope', the fifth album and Mack Avenue debut by the adventurous trio The Nels Cline Singers (led by guitarist Nels Cline), provides a measure of the long-running group's staggering range. Captivating and continually surprising, the album finds the instrumental trio with the slyly deceptive name veering in one off-kilter direction only to suddenly be overwhelmed by another drastic stylistic shift, often within the space of a single tune.
