Gary Arce, the guitarist, seems comfortable sitting on a single vamp throughout the opener \u2018The Wind Cries Edalyn\u2019, allowing the additions of violin and bandoleon accordion (played by the tango musicians Sara Ryan and Adolfo Trepiana, respectively) to weave melodies in between. Despite the titular connection to the Jimi Hendrix song, it bears no discernible resemblance to \u2018The Wind Cries Mary\u2019 and it is a deceptive number; what seems such a simple, almost easy-listening song reveals more colour with every listen. \u2018Her Phantom Finger of Copenhagen\u2019 is slightly darker and almost sounds, with the slight distortion on Arce\u2019s guitar, as if it could have come from Pot Head, the EP the band released in 2005. Mario Lalli, the bass player, begins the third song, \u2018Naomi Crayola\u2019 with a throbbing single note, aided by Bill Stimson\u2019s metronomic drumming. Imagine if Can grew up near the beach, it\u2019s that sort of vibe. The only problem with the song \u2013 and the album, as it happens \u2013 is that it is too short. Ryan\u2019s violin returns in \u2018The Secret Language of Elephants\u2019, this time playing the role of keeping the main vamp alive while Arce\u2019s guitar generates an evocative soundscape that opens in your mind a wide, violet sky like that above a desert the moment after the sun disappears for the night. The closing song and title track is the most free of the five on the album, with Stimson\u2019s beat conjuring memories of Kyuss\u2019s more mellow moments from Welcome to Sky Valley, Lalli\u2019s bass marking the simplest of bottom ends and Arce having a ball over the top.
