The renegade Swiss ensemble Le Rex reinvents brass groove music with Escape of the Fire Ants. The group's fourth album, it is the band's most confident and cohesive, marked by consistently compelling compositions and performances. It was recorded in a studio that reflects this 'jazz' band's 'indie-rock' esthetic. "We have this common sense of humor that translates to the music. Playing on the street helped us develop that. We realized on the street you have to be entertaining, which led to players moving around a lot on stage. It's not only a visual thing. It's a sonic thing too. If the horns move away from the drums, it changes the arrangement," the group notes. Street smart and road-tested, ferociously grooving and lyrically charged, intricately arranged and spontaneously generated, with Escape of the Fire Ants the band is on the march.
