Tracks taken from a session with Doug Scharin, aka HIM. Givens continues his creation of a seemingly all-inclusive palette of instruments and voice featuring some of Chicago's most innovative players - Jeff Parker (Tortoise / Isotope 217), Glenda Baker on vocals, Fred Lonberg-Holm on cello and Josh Abrams (Town & Country) on bass. The result is a mix of dub, jazz, trip hop and even world music ripe with colour and dynamics. 'Freedom's Myth' carries inflections of such artists as Augustus Pablo, Sun Ra and Martin Denny and will appeal to listeners who want a music that elevates above its mere parts.
