    Jam chartAfter warning some hot dogs to get out of his face, Trey is primed and ready to take Axilla deep again. The band is comfortable hanging in the murk of the song and doesn’t rush towards any of their “comfort jamming zones.” The jam feels gooey as it oozes along. Those who don’t need their jams to peak should seek this out. > into “Cities”.

    Jam chart"Axilla II"'s improvisational identity is seemingly now fully established, with spacey, effects-heavy playing setting the tone immediately. Using this template as the platform, the band then effortlessly glides between cosmic life-affirming bliss, diverse textural coloring, and hazed-out driving groove rock before returning to the "Axilla II" ending to close.

    Jam chartAfter the initial onset of the typical outro jam, the music begins to gradually descend toward the depths with Trey's delay-drenched whammy sirens and Fishman’s samples setting up a dense soundscape. The form then fractures, dissipates and melts down into a dark, hypnagogic ambient goo before vanishing from whence it came.

    Jam chartAn extended take on the usual outro drifts into a hypnotic haze which Trey cuts through with melodic leads, buoyed by ample synthesizer and "Quadrophonic Toppling" quotes.

    Jam chartPunishing play, typical of the song, cools. Out, then, from the song's familiar closing refrain, Trey shapes his tone, his sound heavy as a stone, and offset by spaceage Page. On-point (somewhat incendiary) Fish, Mike anchors what becomes an oozing, liquid event. Lazer-like, the band enters a jam that evokes Floyd inside the walls of a cave, with terrific lead Fish. Listen again and again - Trey is so inventive - as there is always something different to hear, or say.
