The Discordian Society, which hails from Asheville, North Carolina, presents an intriguing blend of funk, jazz, and rock in this most recent release. Featuring the talents of Dave “Davz Not Here” Annarelli on bass, Scott Poe on drums, Max Melner on keys, Alfonso Graceffo on guitar, and Paul Juhl on tenor saxophone, the quintet offers unique, daring insights in the tracks of “Primordial Soup.” Fans of Jaco Pastorius, the Weather Report, and Return to Forever will find similar footing in the tracks of this album, yet these tracks are never derivative or stale. “Jazz Fusion” can be an off-putting musical genre for the uninitiated, but the quintet keeps these tracks grounded with strong guitar, witty lyrics, and a sense of fun. This results in a musically challenging album, full of mood swings and tasty turns.
