There are 11 sound-arrows in the Quiver album by KTU. Each is as sharp and penetrating as anything that King Crimson has to offer. But, where KC gets its bite from an 8-piece band with three drummers, KTU distils this down to a compact trio.

The King Crimson connection goes beyond similarities of musical style. Two of the musicians are members of the extended Crimson tribe: Trey Gunn (Warr guitar, ukulele) and Pat Mastelotto (rhythmic devices, beats and noises). But Kimmo Pohjonnen inevitably steals the headlines with his progressive rock accordion and unsettling voice. Together, with the help of electronic effects, they generate arena-filling sounds.

Five of the eleven tracks are available for streaming on the Bandcamp website; to hear the others (including the title track), you will have to buy the album. Those you can listen to on the website are the more attention-grabbing examples – upbeat, complex, even challenging at times. But the slower, more melodic tunes are just as appealing to the Crotchety ear. If you do raid the piggy bank, you will not be disappointed, I promise.
