Kif is Eastern Exotica, Western Exstatica. David "Fuze" Fiuczynski (Meshell Ndegeocello, Lunar Crush with John Medeski) delves into an entirely new palette of other-worldy sounds on his thrilling new release. Using the traditional melodies of Arabia, Asia, India and Eastern-Europe, Fuze effortlessly blends Chinese folk music, Arabic calls to prayer, Eastern-European dances and Indian invocations with his signature brand of highly funky jams. Ranging from rocked-out madness to drum 'n' bass, GoGo to plaintive meditations, Fuze's wild guitar palette and Rufus Cappadocia's deeply soulful, bluesy cello balance the music between high energy extravaganzas and moving, emotional ballads. Kif features Fuze on fretted and fretless guitar, 12-string quartertone guitar and shortscale 11-string guitar, Cappadocia on electric 5-string cello, Gene Lake and Tobias Ralph (drums), Daniel Sadownick (percussion), Matt Darriau (Eastern-European reeds) and Lian Amber (vocals). Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Fusion), total running time, 61:14 - David Fiuczynski & Rufus Cappadocia @ iTunes!
