notes

Might Could tries to entertain listeners by creating and performing songs with rhythmically interesting, tight, and neatly interlocking parts. We aim to serve as a contrast to guitar albums filled with endless soloing. People have told us our songs seem to draw from influences ranging from heavy metal to progressive rock to jazz to video game music, and we've been compared to King Crimson, the California Guitar Trio, Steve Morse, Michael Hedges, Megadeth, and Béla Bartók. The lineup consists of Andy Tillotson, Tim McCaskey, and Aaron Geller on guitar, with Luis Nasser on bass detail. Formerly based in the Washington, DC area, they've recently played shows in the Chicago area as well.

Sample press:

From S. T. Karnick, National Review Online: "In their aptly named All Intertwined, they perform highly complex but tuneful instrumental music simultaneously reminiscent of 1980s King Crimson, ’70s fusion jazz, Baroque-era sonatas, and even a touch of flamenco. It works, and it’s good."

From Marcelo Silveyra, at Progressive World: "Not only does Might Could have plenty of both guts and rock verve, but it also has the ability to deliver some of the best interlocking instrumentals this side of Discipline-era King Crimson with such gusto that Andy Tillotson, Aaron Geller, Tim McCaskey, and Luis Nasser have immediately shot up to the pantheon of this style of music... As soon as the first note goes off on this album, it's hard not to notice that something special is going on... this goes well beyond mere technical aspects into realms that combine them with profoundly visceral emotions and drive..."

From Bob Mulvey, at the Dutch Progressive Rock Page: "No drums, no keyboards, but do not be fooled by the absence of these instruments, this is not twee album of gentle guitar noodling, far from it, this is a well written, intricate, interlocking guitar extravaganza."

From Murat Batmaz, at Sea of Tranquility: "Might Could is an instrumental guitar group that combines the forces of three acoustic guitars and subtle bass work and writes songs characterized by high degrees of instrumental ability and rhythmic complexity...The recording of the guitars is fabulous, as is the mix. Might Could is a very promising band with much more to offer in the coming years..."

From Marc Roy, at ProgGnosis: "The compositions are quite good, the performances great, the album production excellent... in my book this makes for a recommended listen. For fans of [California Guitar Trio], I would go as far as saying it is a 'Must buy.'"

  • New Passion for Accoustic Guitars--Simply Incredible
    author: Carlos Diggs

    My 13 year old son first heard Interwine on a public radio station and immediately insisted on me ordering this CD for him. Everyone in my house (family of six) is in love with this CD.

  • Fresh and different
    author: Gerry

    It's exciting to find something that is so fresh, original and, masterfully performed. A delight for the mind AND the heart! WoW!

  • Quite a change from the usual
    author: John O'Connor

    Good stuff, and not the usual guitar group. This is more like the old group improvisation of traditional jazz, with everyone improvising, and no one the real "soloist". All three guitarists are technically competent, as is the bass player. They blend their sounds together well, and the music is excellent. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I see places for some improvement working together. Time will take care of that if they are allowed to stay together. As it is, this is an excellent group of musicians making excellent music.

  • Love it!
    author: Malcolm from Alabama

    All Intertwined is right. Never have I heard such harmonies. I loaned the CD to several friends and everyone loves it. Excellent service from CD Baby, too.

  • Great Stuff
