Hailing from the cornfields of Bloomington, IN, Muzaic spent their younger days playing together through high school and eventually into the dorms of Indiana University. There, feeding off of a vibrant music scene, they formed a sound heavily influenced by the Talking Heads, Cake, a little Miles Davis, and even a bit of James Brown. Those nods are easy to pick out, but each of the fifteen tracks on their debut record, Hundred Acre Parlor, speaks of originality with a remarkably different tone than the previous selection. From funk to jazz fusion to alt-rock, this typical first album smorgasbord makes you give up trying to guess what the next tune will sound like. It’s a solid debut from beginning to end.
