The Union Line – Bongo (Time is a Seed)

By Chris Gedos

“Bongo (Time is a Seed)”, part of a three song teaser off the forthcoming LP from The Union Line, places the band solidly in the b3sci convo re: most anticipated releases. There’s a very mystical / soulful ethos here, almost as if Question Mark and The Mysterians recorded well into the seventies. The claustrophobic wall-of-sound is achieved through an economical, non-baroque instrumentation, allowing for the arrangement and vocal to take precedence. Check out “LoveJam” as well, which features some juicy Chicago / Al Kooper inspired jazz fusion.
