POLARITY | WEATHERED MUSIC REVIEW

Weathered Music | Weekly Reviews - Norman Weatherly

This album is like an onion, with layers and layers of sound that take several listens to get past the outer skin. I hope you like onions as much as I do. Polarity reminds me of no one else. They are peeling their onion and serving it in six dishes, all of them different. Pathos Trio comprises percussionists Marcelina Suchocka, Felix Reyes, and pianist/composer Will Healy. They make music that weaves in and about around and through the spaces in my mind. Each time I listen to Polarity, another layer gets peeled back and presents me with a new listening experience. Pathos Trio has created a complex Polarity album that is also very easy to listen to. It can be background music while I work or a focused listening experience where I listen intently, trying to grab at threads of sound. I love it.

This album tied Tool Lateralus for best album cover art. You must have a physical copy to appreciate this.
