The music of drummer John Colpitts as Man Forever is explorative, innovative and
fearless. A musician and composer equally versed in the disparate musical languages
of DIY rock, improvisation, and contemporary classical, Colpitts (aka Kid Millions) has
made an album that defies genre classification. Propulsive, elaborate drum arrangements
(created with TIGUE Percussion) remain essential to Man Forever - on the songs of Play
What They Want, they are augmented by voice and melody with contributions from
Laurie Anderson, Yo La Tengo, and Mary Lattimore to name a few. Play What They
Want represents the culmination of 25 years of musical engagement by one of New
York s most acclaimed percussionists.
The collaborative process, essential to Man Forever, requires the relinquishing of ones
ego for a greater purpose. In Play What They Want Colpitts leverages a vast and talented
stable of diverse collaborators to create a work that transcends the sum of its parts.
You Were Never Here kicks off the album with a gorgeous vocal performance by all
members of Yo La Tengo and, like the transition from black and white to technicolor,
the piece becomes a driving, wild marriage of Max Roachs Garveys Ghost, McCoy
Tyner, Alice Coltrane and Steve Reich. World-class harpists Brandee Younger and
Mary Lattimore join bassist Brandon Lopez, pianist Sam Yulsman and the Quince
Contemporary Vocal Ensemble to create an experimental jazz and classical dream
team. Ten Thousand Things resonates with TIGUE s tense, virtuosic compound
meters, a Moondog-esque vocal by Colpitts and singer Nick Hallett, and another
intuitive performance by harpist Mary Lattimore. Finishing the side, Debt and Greed
is a surprisingly wry pop tune that combines Colpitts Jaki Liebezeit-esque drum groove
with CSN-style harmonies, guitar by Trans Ams Phil Manley, and horn playing by Ben
Lanz (Beiruit, The National, Sufjan Stevens).
The second side leads with the evocative album centerpiece Twin Torches. Here
Colpitts worked with the legendary multi-media artist and musician Laurie Anderson,
who provided spoken vocals and violin on the nearly 10-minute tour de force. This
composition also features arresting vocal atmospherics by Quince, which precede
some of the most complex drumming Colpitts has ever recorded. The album closes
with Catenary Smile, a prickly ballad featuring Nick Halletts cascading background
vocals which buoy the lyrics: a contemplation of humanity s problematic tendency to
anthropomorphize inanimate things.
While Colpitts previous albums have expanded on the possibilities and limitations of
drums and percussion, this new album redefines the project in myriad ways. Building
on a complex rhythmic foundation, Man Forever created an album that is innovative,
imaginative and joyous. Play What They Want is a rare record of untamed ambition that
hits all its marks.
