Yellowjackets - Altered State (2005) [SACD]

Since their earliest days, the Yellowjackets have frequently sought alternatives to the musical mainstream. Altered State, with its frequent explorations of melody & rhythm, is a continuation of that exploratory tradition. Still, the technical aspects of the music take a back seat to the band’s primary objective: making music that’s challenging, accessible & entertaining at the same time. “Not everybody cares about the time signature in a piece of music,” says Baylor. “Some people just listen to it to enjoy it. I want people to be able to enjoy the Yellowjackets’ music, regardless of what the time signature is. That’s the job for all of us.”
