Vowels is a side project on James Rutledge, better known as Pedro, with drummer Chris Walmsley of Voice of the Seven Woods and Psapp. If you like percussion, step into this one. Walmsley lets his presence be known, with drum fills all over, and Rutledge complements with complex beats and 0-60 tempos in record time. With Pedro, it's quite hard to pin down a style, but I'd say Krautrock, jazz, and psychedelia are the primary sound influences of this record. A highlight is the 11 minute epic Appendix, which goes through all of these styles over the course of the tune, and never loses its place. This release is definitely experimental, but it's not just for beardstrokers. It has an energy to it that is palpable.
