4 Sided Triangle doesn't fit neatly into any single genre. On balance, its music is more rock than jazz, even though Figes' baritone provides the band with its most distinctive voice. Is this a problem? Commercially, perhaps: radio programmers, among others, still like a neatly definable group. Musically, of course not: transcending boundaries is what a lot of good music does, so more power to 4 Sided Triangle. (BRUCE LINDSAY, allaboutjazz)
