Theon Cross - Activate

’Activate’ from the debut album by Theon Cross, ’Fyah’. “The trio crackles to life on “Activate,” where Cross’ prowess is by turns rhythmic and melodic, stomping and ratcheting up the rollicking song’s tension. His tuba grapples with Boyd and his tricky measures while also shadowing Garcia’s crystalline, high-flying lines, the three pushing and urging one another along throughout the Carnival-flavored stepper.“ - Pitchfork Bandcamp: Gearbox shop: Stream:
