TIME OUT NY: “A Cool New Disc of Jammy, Atmospheric Instrumentals"
Soon to Be Featured in Relix, Modern Drummer Magazine
“This album works so well that you hardly notice the absence of vocals, which would only take away from the overall appeal to the music being performed"
Acclaimed Drummer Aaron Comess Earns Consistent Raves for Instrumental Rock Album, 'Beautiful Mistake'
Consistently favorable coverage continues to run for drummer/guitarist/composer/producer Aaron Comess' powerful new CD, 'Beautiful Mistake.' TIME OUT NY described it as a “cool new disc of jammy, atmospheric instrumentals," and, in a thoughtful interview, writer Chris Junior delved into the career of Comess for his Medleyville.us feature. In BLOGCRITICS, veteran writer Jack Goodstein praised, “This may be instrumental rock at its base, but if it is, it clearly demonstrates the creative variety skilled musicians can build on that base." More recent coverage follows below.
For Comess, who wrote and produced the album, 'Beautiful Mistake' marks an opportunity to step out of the shadows of his many notable collaborative efforts, and into the spotlight. He deftly creates sweeping songs that are emotive without words, leaving his commanding drum work and the 'voice' of his band's electric guitar (Teddy Kumpel) and bass (Richard Hammond) to weave a dramatic soundscape.
