The band evolved over the pursuant years in various configurations before eventual-ly going on hiatus following its 2011 album, ‘Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil.’ In 2019, however, the original trio reunited for a handful of shows. This would also result in an afternoon spent recording at Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard’s Studio Litho in Seattle, right across the street from where the band was playing a sold out, three night run at Nectar Lounge. Ace engineer Randall Dunn was invited to document the proceedings and in one magical session the resulting album was cap-tured. Dunn would take the tracks back to AVAST! Recording Co. for mixing. With all but a few edits on the beginnings and ends of performances, ‘Calm Down Cologne’ presents the music as it was played in the studio that day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA high-stepping, mind\/body elixir, ‘Calm Down Cologne’ finds Garage A Trois in full improvisational flight, composing live, in the moment, on the studio floor. Hunter on the Hybrid Big6 and Moore on the drums and cymbals are locked in a mountain-ous groove. Simultaneously, Skerik conjures the melodic lines with one hand on the saxophone and the other on a clutch of analog keys: Modal 001 synth, Rhodes 54 and Mellotron, among them. The jaunty title track is the only pre-composed piece on the collection, while Seattle singer Christa Wells adds the LP’s sole overdub—a Stereolab-esque inspired vocal matching the sax\/keys line on aptly-titled “The Epic.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet opener “No Zone” finds OG GAT channeling Stuff with Eddie Harris sitting in with electrifying results. The album’s cen-terpiece, the massive “In-A-Pro-Pro,” stretches ten-plus minutes as it checks a number of vital boxes for which Garage A Trois are celebrated: stone cold funk, outer-space breakbeats, ‘70s ‘On The Corner’ guitar grease. Ever the masters of shapeshift-ing, OG GAT seamlessly reconfigure course on “Numinous,” a dubbed-out descent that winds down the record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs for the rather curious album title, the story goes that legendary underground Seattle artist Rick Klu gave Skerik the idea when he was describing a bouncer having to use some ‘calm down cologne’ on an unruly patron. More metaphorically speak-ing, a whiff of Garage A Trois’ new magic potion elicits a “free your mind and your ass will follow” response—truly a much needed balm in these anxiety-ridden times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlie Hunter - Hybrid Big6\u003cbr\u003eStanton Moore - Drums \u0026amp; Cymbals\u003cbr\u003eSkerik - Saxophones, Modal 001 Synth, Rhodes 54, Mellotron, EFX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded by Randall Dunn at Studio Litho, Seattle\u003cbr\u003eAssistant Engineer: Jon Roberts\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Randall Dunn at Avast!
