The duo of guitarist/vocalist Mark Dwinell and drummer Joe LaBrecque create a big sound without a band full of musicians. On
Full Negative (or) Breaks, their fourth album, they revel in free-form art rock. Borderline improvisational jazz is mixed with impressive guitar experiments and engaging and layered arrangements, continually colorful and inquisitive. Liberal with reverb and intricate texture, they embrace prog rock sensibilities throughout the disc, riding waves of melodic drum and guitar, creating a sound bigger than the sum of its parts. Highlights include the dramatic rockers "Yeah! Holy Stones" and "I'm Colliding," while "The Spire Will Be Your Landmark" screams to be a space rock classic. Vocals are virtually nonexistent, as the pair prefer to let their sonic assault to speak for itself. Recorded on four-track with Jacques Cohen, New Jersey's Ba Da Bing Records released
