    Horns, synths and samples float above soulful vocals by members of Ruby Suns, Born Ruffians and Braids, while dense layers of texture and polyrhythmic percussion give way to beguiling melodies that worm their way into your subconscious.

    All in all, Pick a Piper is not a bad album, and, despite its similarities to the better-known group that Weber belongs to on stage, it earns some respect for being warm electronica instead of being clinically cold and robotic.

    While it's a great attempt at a first album, Pick a Piper's tune could have been a bit sweeter.

    With all the various guest vocals, Pick A Piper's multi-narrative structure is a little problematic.
