Coffee - Artifact/Artifact Shadow
Release Date:   1997
Band:  

"Best described as manic free jazz, Coffee is a group known for pushing it. This double disc has the group floating comfortably in the hypnotic ether in some spots and sounding like Canada geese having rough sex in others. Coffee is an organic alternative to those artists who too often overthink their music. It may be little over-the-top for those who try to make sense out of it; it'll be just right for those who just let it be. " Frank De Blase

"...they babble quietly in and through faux-jazz gallops, cautious string tinkering and floating sound warpage, an understated verbosity magnified by Pixielamb in ear-delightingly minute detail. I like it even better than their first album." -Nick Cain
