On his sole album as a leader, bassist Melvin Jackson - a veteran of the Eddie Harris band- plays with a bow, plucks and plugs his upright bass into a Maestro G-2 filter box, a Boomerang, an Echoplex, and an Ampeg amp.
Written in 2010, released in 2011, the Front Bottoms first label-released album and a video for the song "Maps" helped establish their underground popularity.
