Nov 8, 2021The Solution Is Restless is an album that worms its way under your skin, reminding you of half a dozen records you love while sounding unlike anything else around.

MojoNov 8, 2021Shadowy, masterful set. [Dec 2021, p.91]

Nov 8, 2021Everyone involved shines, but for Wasser, it's a feather in her cap and an excellent way to kick off the next phase in what continues to be an exciting career.
-
Nov 11, 2021The Solution Is Restless, by its title alone, does not have all the answers – but its musical debates are gripping. The spectacle of three creative identities finding common ground in a divisive world is both priceless and inspiring.

UncutNov 8, 2021While some results can feel incomplete, it's riveting to hear the structures Allen creates even for Wasser's most sinuous compositions, the elastic almost-funk of "enter The Dragon" being the strongest evidence of this collaboration's viability. [Dec 2021, p.29]

Dec 9, 2021The ten tracks here vary in length here from a short two minutes (“Dinner Date”) to a rubbery 11-plus minutes (“The Barbarian”), but they all share several traits based on Allen’s steady drumbeats. He acts like a live metronome that keeps the music fluid. Okuma’s contributions (bass, guitar, percussion) provide color and variety to the musical palette.
