 All Murmur of Our Mothers' Waters seems to celebrate a frustration with the physical world. These phonetic songs are ruled by natural speech rhythms and melodies, and Mooey Moobau spouts them with an abandon that recalls Patti Smith as much as it does Public Enemy. The sound is frenetic, maximally detailed, and always thick with spontaneous interplay - the intent being to break through language by stuttering, to move beyond music by keeping all the perfect mistakes. The many guests who played nothing but right notes on it include members of Killsonic and Cat Hair Ensemble, multi-reed monster Vinny Golia, and songwriter monoliths Dorian Wood, Archbishop Jason Polland, and Adam Rabin (Mailbox).
