Two luminaries of the New Weird Los Angeles — the experimental, genre-encompassing underground — Sam Wilkes & Jacob Mann chase the music to the ends of the earth on their album, Compositions of Sam Wilkes & Jacob Mann.
Compositions captures the creative flow of two consummate musicians. Most of the record’s sessions (Sam and Jacob call these “four-to-five-day summits” in an apartment studio, occasioned by “blasts of inspiration”) began with improvisation, and roughly half of the final material was composed with Wilkes and Mann squaring off, playing a Yamaha DX7 and a Roland Juno 106, alternating leads; acting as two co-pilots with no set course.
