Veteran guitarist Hedvig Mollestad has always had one foot in the world of these no-nonsense grooves as well as European free improv and progressive rock. This, her latest album, leans equally toward the former and the latter, with catchy tunes, creative yet tasteful soloing, and a few surprises.<\/p>\n<p>Joined by Ellen Brekken on bass and Ivar Loe Bjornstad on drums, Mollestad plows through 37 minutes of mostly-accessible themes centering around the expected power chords. But, at least to these ears, the album shines brightest when the trio heads outside. This can be heard in the staccato rhythms and unusual chording of <em>itta<\/em>. On <em>bob\u2019s your giddy aunt<\/em>, Mollestad and crew take it further, with unstructured exploration accompanying more conventional rhythms that periodically take up sophisticated timings.<\/p>\n<p>Those who\u2019ve followed Mollestad since\u00a0<em>All of Them Witches<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<em>Ekhidna\u00a0<\/em>will hear the seamless marriage of disciplined riffcraft and adventurous improv here, and first\u2011timers will be hooked by the album\u2019s infectious momentum.
