Jonathan Pfeffer, the mastermind behind this sadistic avant-pop-group from Philadelphia, likes thinking that his music “treads a fine line between economic innovation and commercial suicide”.

“So Embarrassing” is the product of Pfeffer’s relentless attention to detail. Intricate structures develop from chaotic forms. Melodies burst from hidden nooks and crannies. Dense walls of sound stretch, bend, fall apart and come back together, only to fall apart again. The whole affair is executed with pinpoint precision by the CAPILLARY ACTION live band and a 9-piece-orchestra of strings, horns and classical percussion.

“So Embarassing” crosses neurotic mathrock with progressive jazz and new music, the furor of an electric guitar with the melodic expressivity of a Fender Rhodes.

CAPILLARY ACTION spent three years crafting “So Embarrassing” and this monster of an album represents having the courage to walk straight into an uncomfortable situation and risk everything to say what needs to be said. By not being afraid to express the taboo, this music pushes listeners to confront their own struggles with a unique approach: A philosophy of embarrassment as a means of personal growth.

We are deeply shocked…
