The result is a far-ranging album that traverses much musical territory, bringing in influences from classic blues and rock to more psychedelic and dissonant landscapes. The trio jammed in hour-long chunks-split up by coffee breaks-and then spliced together material from those improvisatory sessions to create both tracks on For Michael Ripps. Each piece shifts through melodies that explore the multitude of influences beneath the players’s fingers.

There’s palpable excitement from the first notes of the album, which unfolds through a series of driving repetitions. The recording appears on Husky Pants, a label founded by Walker that’s morphed from a place to release limited-run live LP’s of his songwriting work to highlighting experimental and improvised music. Recorded in one session in June 2020, For Michael Ripps marks the first collaboration any of the musicians have had since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and the first time the long-time friends were able to play together. Bohannon, Ben Greenberg, and Ryley Walker weave between fast-paced riffs and spun-out meditations on For Michael Ripps, creating an album that’s constantly flowing and driven by tangible textures, detailed melodies, and a delicate blend of musical style.
