Classic prog and fusion, newer-school math rock, around five decades of free jazz and abstract improvised music — it’s all on the table for Toadal Package, a prodigious young trio featuring guitarist Cosmo Gallaro, bassist Brenna Rey and drummer James Paul Nadien. The band’s self-titled debut expertly juggles chaos and control, ferocity and whimsy, nailing gnarly prog-punk aggression and more nimble or abstract zones. Imagine a midpoint of Derek Bailey’s free-form funk album Mirakle and the avant-rock implosions of Grand Ulena and you’ll get an idea of the level of invention, extremity and perverse fun on offer here.
