Guitar, bass and drums is a well-worn concept in the world of rock music, but blending tight performances with compositions that are highly structured and shift tempo/mood often and dramatically, einstein avoids all the cliches of a power trio. i have never heard a band that sounds like this but at the same time there are so many references - a touch of country guitar here, surf rock there, King Crimson quotes, classical sounding chords in the style of Debussy, cartoon music - this music is FUN and INTERESTING and totally unlike any albums you own but not so weird you can't listen to it...closest thing i can think to compare it to is frank zappa without horns
