Cast Iron Filter has music skills to go along with its songwriting ability. It should have a bright future. Blue Thumb Records. ModeReko's self-titled debut is a fine album, but there are a couple of problems. That much time spoils the concept of improvising.
Some jams can be long, boring and repetitive.
This album doesn't succeed on those merits, and yet, it is still good. How seamlessly they actually play while in the same room remains to be seen, but at least here, it's all good. ModeReko's strong suit appears to be its live shows. The songs on its debut are no doubt blueprints for expanded versions to be played before an audience. The band is comprised of four session musicians who have to know how to play all genres of music.
