“This is a Test†is a six-track funk EP from Solution that fuses their underlying funk sound with rock, pop, reggae and jazz. Solution is a musically sound group and shows their range by innovating their sound with each track. The lead singer has a naturally soothing voice similar to Phish vocalist Trey Anastasio, but his range will remind the listener of such bands as Wilco, Murder by Death and Primus - depending on the track. The lyrics are socially conscious, as “No Surprise†reminds the listener that “Around the world people are hungry†and asks, “Will reality just simply fall away?†“This is a Test†is well-recorded, but pushes the envelope as far as conventionality is concerned. “Hide Away†begins with a gristly, raw piano and flows into a sharp, crisp sound soon thereafter, indicating that Solution made a conscious effort to do so. “Hot Sauce†nicely fuses Solution’s funk sound with jazz by incorporating jazzy flute, piano and horns with an outstanding funky bass beat. “Dig†is a fast-paced song with an overall funky beat and fast lyrics of which Les Claypool would be proud. “This is a Test†is a fun album with impressive and broad musicianship, nice vocals, and meaningful lyrics. For anyone in search of a good new funk album, here’s your Solution.
