The chemistry between Bill MacKay and Katinka Kleijn radiates like a beam of light throughout STIR. The compositions unfurl like explorations into the unknown, only to be pulled back to earth with a commanding presence. The latest single, "No One Here Is A Stranger," is a concept unhindered by the conceptual, a free expression which still maintains a beautiful through-line to its organization. Both MacKay and Kleijn direct their instruments with a fluid precision, waxing and waning with only their instincts as the guide. "No One Here Is A Stranger" grooves with brisk intention, guided by MacKay's deft guitar work and sewn up expertly by Kleijn's impassioned work on the cello.
