How do you classify Scarred For Life? The record, which is the newest release from the Canadian musician Bryce Cloghesy’s Military Genius moniker, deploys the languages of jazz, rock, and dub in the creation of a set of music that, though recorded in the Mojave Desert, would probably sound amazing at sunrise in Ibiza. Shades of ECM and British folk music can also be heard. Setting aside any genre taxonomy, this is a personal album that deals with a near-death experience Cloghesy endured in 2012 as well as the artist’s recent journey into fatherhood. Taken in aggregate, Scarred For Life presents a synthesis of sophisticated formal play and internal exploration. Put it on in your headphones and walk through whatever weather.
