Croz Boyce - Croz Boyce (CD)

What if 40 minutes of instrumental music made by two friends passing files across state lines could capture the range of human experience, or at least a disproportionate chunk of it-worry and camaraderie, hope and frustration, tenderness and absurdity? That is the question that steadily emerges across the nine tracks of the self-titled debut from Croz Boyce, the duo of two musicians who have made some of the last quarter-century's most inquisitive music, Dave Portner (Avey Tare) and Brian Weitz (Geologist) of Animal Collective.
