We are super psyched for our LA area shows in a couple of weeks. Check the tour section for more info and tickets!

All Is Golden
Pronto | Contraphonic (2009)
By John Dworkin
There’s a new game in the music world: Six degrees of Wilco. Current Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen’s band Pronto is the latest degree in a wide network of Wilco connections. All Is Golden is Pronto’s debut and Jorgensen composed and sings all the material. The musical influences are varied: power pop; retro ’70s funk; Chicago Transit Authority pop/jazz horns; and songwriter Americana like The Band or Randy Newman. The dilemma of deciding whether to be a jack of all trades or master of none comes to mind, though it all out works well, with plenty of catchy hooks and memorable phrases, despite it feeling like there’s still a decision to be made.
