This irrepressible group of musicians is comprised of Anton Patzner on violin, Lewis Patzner on cello, and Jon Bush on drums. That's right, there is no vocalist in this trio, and no guitar either, though the archetypal heavy shredding that takes place on the harder tracks, especially in the first track entitled "Cobra Strike," could fool even the most infallible ear. Peacocks/ Pink Monsters is a concept album, rooted in an idea reminiscent of the process of the evolution of an ancient city "whose roads have been paved over by each new civilization that has inhabited it." Jon Bush's drums pave those roads, while the Patzner brothers cruise down them with strings and bows.

The album is primarily improvisation based, as the band went through tribulations in creating a cohesive written product. As a result, the passion of that kind of free-flowing creativity shines through immensely. The general tone travels from sorrow, to anger, to awe, but holds steady in an emotional trance through the end.

Though evocative of albums released by metal and instrumental artists alike, Peacocks/ Pink Monsters is not quite like anything done before. From the intricate album art to the last note of the last track, it is infused with such beautifully complex melodic tones that it will keep you hypnotized long after the music stops playing.
