Formed in 2002, Fast Citizens are the Chicago based meta-band with three albums
to their credit, each under a different leader. On this album, the leader is
cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm and the band consists of Aram Shelton on alto
saxophone and clarinet, Keefe Jackson on tenor saxophone and clarinet, Josh
Berman on cornet, Aaron Hatwich on bass and Frank Rosaly on drums. The album
opens with “Infra-Red” with uptempo cornet squaring off against spirited
saxophone and clarinet. Loping cello underpins the explorations as Lonberg-Holm
builds his playing to very fast levels sparking off waves of excitement and
encouraging a fine tenor saxophone solo. “Later News” is a rollicking uptempo
tune lifting off with scorching cello and rock-like backbeat drumming as the
horns come in entering with pounding riffs.  Jackson takes a strong tenor
saxophone solo over heavy drums before the full band comes back with a great
collective improvisation. “Lazy Day” lives up to its title with long tones of
saxophone and cello developing slowly throughout the performance. “Faster,
Citizens! Kill! Kill!” is a riotous fast improvisation with its title riffing
off of the 1965 cult film. Beginning with snarling electric cello and exciting
saxophone and bubbling bass clarinet. There are sections for unaccompanied
clarinet and cornet before the full band rebuilds to the wild melody.
