“But this album burns the brightest when this ensemble is firing on all pistons.
‘Electric Saloon’ is mighty in its power. The squall of Ellis’ synth and Evan Wenskay’s organ is only matched by the guitar back-and-forth of Jonas Munk and Monarch’s Dominic Denholm. It’s an absolutely masterful display of musicianship and pure intuition. Then there’s the peculiar and genius ‘Larry’s Jungle Juice’, a frantic mad jam to the center of the universe. It’s like Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac joined forces with King Crimson for a night of absinthe, Molly, and space exploration. Pure mania; exceptional and frightening.

The production here is second to none. You’d wonder how good a sweaty, crowded, beer-drenched recording session could sound with a roof leaking and water dripping in every corner. Turns out, pretty damn good. With Brian Ellis recording the sessions and Jonas Munk mixing and mastering at his Odense studio, you’d never know that these two day jams were nearly washed away by San Diego rains. Or that the final session was ended by a power outage and a blown breaker box. Despite any meddling by mother nature, the Ellis Munk Ensemble persevered and by all accounts exceeded expectations.

San Diego Sessions is one of those rare occasions when a room full of musical geniuses came together and each shared a bit of their magic. Each of these tracks represent the shared love of creativity and just getting really, really loud in a small space. Vibes abound, Ellis Munk Ensemble’s San Diego Sessions was one of those mythical recording experiences that you have to hear it to believe it. Another time capsule of southern Cali artistry and rebellion.”

Was great to meet @gpwiz ! This man did some of my favorite performance art ever on Scare Tactics... If you've ever seen the episode where the woman gives birth to a devil baby, that baby was this man. What a sweet guy too. Much respect to Gabriel Pimentel! by @brian_zilla_ellis
