Reviews
“This is a Test” is a six-track funk EP from Solution that fuses their underlying funk sound with rock, pop, reggae and jazz. Solution is a musically sound group and shows their range by innovating their sound with each track. The lead singer has a naturally soothing voice similar to Phish vocalist Trey Anastasio, but his range will remind the listener of such bands as Wilco, Murder by Death and Primus - depending on the track. The lyrics are socially conscious, as “No Surprise” reminds the listener that “Around the world people are hungry” and asks, “Will reality just simply fall away?” “This is a Test” is well-recorded, but pushes the envelope as far as conventionality is concerned. “Hide Away” begins with a gristly, raw piano and flows into a sharp, crisp sound soon thereafter, indicating that Solution made a conscious effort to do so. “Hot Sauce” nicely fuses Solution’s funk sound with jazz by incorporating jazzy flute, piano and horns with an outstanding funky bass beat. “Dig” is a fast-paced song with an overall funky beat and fast lyrics of which Les Claypool would be proud. “This is a Test” is a fun album with impressive and broad musicianship, nice vocals, and meaningful lyrics. For anyone in search of a good new funk album, here’s your Solution. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
