A casual listen might suggest that Floratone is a new Bill Frisell project (and that would be mostly correct), except every indication is that this is a fully collaborative project between Frisell, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and Tucker Martine and Lee Townsend. Composition credits are all shared and they all appear on the front cover. Why is that notable? Because while Frisell and Chamberlain are both credited with "loops" along with their respective instruments, Martine and Townsend receive only "production" credits – no instruments. That's because on Floratone, the pure elements of sound and space are given as much attention as the music itself.

Not only are there cool shimmering loops coloring the tunes, but any musical element can get treated, delayed, bounced around, echoed and twisted through 360-degrees of the stereo spectrum. With titles that invoke the South, the songs mostly float along at a languid pace anchored by the bass of Viktor Krauss. Ron Miles (trumpet) and Eyvind Kang (viola) also contribute to several cuts but don't really figure prominently. The focus is squarely on Frisell and Chamberlain and the soundworld they've created with Martine and Townsend. There's the slight reggae lilt of the title cut with some great dub-style echo and the New Orleans flavored "Mississippi Rising" with its second line rhythm. "Louisiana Lowboat" is somewhat lumbering and clanky, coming across almost like a Tom Waits instrumental. "Monsoon" rocks things up a bit and "Threadbare" gets a bit noisy, but this is mostly a pretty laid-back affair. It's great to hear Frisell messing with the delays again in a big way (see also the "West" disc of East/West) and the pure sonics of Floratone are as much of a treat as the playing. It's pleasant enough for background music, but careful listening will be rewarded. Try this one with headphones.

Floratone's membership includes guitarist Bill Frisell, drummer Matt Chamberlain, and producers Lee Townsend and Tucker Martine. Their self-titled debut album in 2007 was the result of two years of collaborative recording, editing, sonic experimentation and re-recording. Upright bassist Viktor Krauss, trumpeter Ron Miles, and violinist/violist Eyvind Kang also contributed. The highly atmospheric musical palette breached styles from dubby reggae, country, and blues to New Orleans-styled funk and swampy rock. On Floratone II, emulating the same recording and editing process, the end result is more abstract in its production, but conversely more song-like in its structure. Miles and Kang reprise their roles. This time, however, Mike Elizondo contributed on electric and acoustic bass, and Jon Brion added keyboards and samples. Dissonances, both musical and sonic, are utilized as jelling agents to create airy but fully formed songs. Check the opener "The Bloom Is On," where Miles creates a lyric head, Frisell and Kang illustrate it, and the rhythm section highlights the groove quotient while space is added by Brion's samples and the producer's effects and loops. "Parade" is an aptly titled jazz tune, with elements of carnival and march music in its melody, stretched harmonies, and polyrhythmic pulses. Frisell's playing is lovely, finding phrases that accent the tune's humorous bent, but also its harmonic lyricism. Chamberlain's circular groove moves from in the cut to respond to basslines, effects, and keys and back again. "Move" rocks it up, with driving chords, and Chamberlain's kit rushes headlong into a controlled sonic maelstrom. The production is detailed but stays focused on the interplay between Chamberlain and Frisell. "Do You Have It" walks the line between funk and country stroll. "Gimme Some" follows a stretched blues into the twilight zone; loops and Chamberlain's deep bass drum and tom-toms highlight Elizondo's dark bassline. Frisell vamps and turns in imaginative counterpoint. The set closes on "Stand by This," a brief, languid ballad on which Frisell uses his acoustic and electric, with Miles and Kang suggesting a melody without actually stating one. Chamberlain's sparse kit work and the effects expand the space around it all. Floratone II is a sonically more adventurous, yet more musically focused album than its predecessor.
