Tricky Dilemma

TRICKY DILEMMA, led by multi-instrumentalist Bruce Mack (of Burnt Sugar) is a trio of abstract-expressionists that also fea­tures gui­tarists Muata25/Thomas Blast Mur­ray (Eurhyth­mics, Ter­rence Trent D’Arby) and Mar­vin Sewell (for­merly of Cas­san­dra Wilson).

The Howl­ing Neces­sity, con­cep­tu­al­ized by Bruce Mack, is an explo­ration in address­ing human desire and ‘call­ing out’ when in need, using aural land­scapes to describe the human con­di­tion as the 13th cen­tury Per­sian poet/philosopher Rumi did with words. Mack, is express­ing expe­ri­ence with­out words or melodies, by play­ing freely, respond­ing to his mood changes and the effects of those changes on his and the play­ing of fel­lows Thomas Mur­ray and Mar­vin Sewell (who obvi­ously have their own demons to expel).

With instru­ments being used like neu­ro­log­i­cal tele­graph writ­ers, The Howl­ing Neces­sity is an emo­tion­ally hon­est body of work fea­tur­ing 9 tracks that were impro­vised and recorded live using a com­bi­na­tion of acoustic, elec­tric and exotic instru­ments such as Udo drum and Greek Bouzouki. The Howl­ing Neces­sity is the meta­mor­pho­sis of Mack from the days of his punk-funk-r&b-rock bands PBR Street­Gang and Rebels Be Phuncky.
