EXTINCTION-RESISTANT octet Crazy Arm rise like a phoenix with this fabulous collection, which owes as much to masterly musicianship as their lived collective, creative spirit.
Crazy Arm is all about musical and philosophical agitation, rich in stupendous syncopation, in-your-face assertiveness and echoes of Appalachian harmonies combining symbiotically song after song.
