Tool Drummer Danny Carey’s Volto! Album is Streaming and It’s Siqq as Fuqq

A couple of weeks ago sexiest man alive Anso DF told you guys all about Volto! (exclamation point inclusive), Tool drummer Danny Carey’s jazz/fusion/weirdo side project. That Anso’s a sneaky summabitch and I can’t always tell what he’s trying to say, but methinks he wasn’t especially stoked on the one track Volto! had released to date, insofar as 1) it’s not Tool, 2) it’s not Tool, and 3) it’s not Tool.

But Uncle Vince is here to tell you something else: the entire new Volto! record Incitare is streaming right now at Rolling Stone, and GOOD GOD, it freakin’ rules. From note one it’s obvious that Carey is the man pitter-pattering away on those toms, so much so that it’s not hard to imagine some crunchy Adam Jones chugs and Maynard’s wail atop exactly what Carey is playing here. But that’s not what we get, of course: it’s experimental, it’s jazzy, it’s fusiony, it’s jammy, it’s full of excellent instrumental passages from Carey, John Ziegler and Lance Morrison alike. Put another way: for fans of T.R.A.M., Trioscapes, Yes, King Crimson, The Mars Volta, etc.

Listen here because it’ll be good for you, Rolling Stone’s grose pop-out player aside.
