THE TRUE TITLE OF THIS WORK IS &. THE AMAZON SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH A SINGLE CHARACTER TITLE SO I HAVE ADDED (Ampersand) TO THE TITLE. That beautiful musical squiggle and the enigmatic former 27th letter of the alphabet, the ampersand casually calls for attention. Over time, the & has come to mean more than the word it was created to represent, because it signifies a more close­knit relationship. -- -- TM&TF made a name for themselves in their hometown of Provo, Utah, (birthplace of Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons) with their 2011 self­titled debut album of thoughtful, enigmatic music and visual art to accompany it. However on &, they explore a decisively percussive­heavy approach with the band's newest member Andrew Tolman and producer Joey Waronker, celebrated drummer for Atoms for Peace and Beck. -- -- Waronker, an accomplished rhythm master and unorthodox producer, helped the band break outside of themselves to capture chaos & beauty. There are moments of maximalism and also minimalism ­­and sometimes both at the same time­­ as TM&TF challenges listeners with tempestuous, visceral songs. Street sounds like dogs barking, children crying, and even a woman yelling into a megaphone show TM&TF's keen eye for detail. Driving rhythms oscillate between standard and atypical time signatures that can, at times, be chaotic and bent; this is met with melody lines augmented and distorted by pitch bending, filtering, and looping. The music tilts and teeters nearly out of control, but there's always a backbone, always an opposing, upright force acting as the compass point.
