Lush guitar licks and a funky groove bring back the ever-uninhibited creative flair of Omer B – the uniquely imaginative musician and composer. Featuring the additional talents of Oz Noy on guitar solos, Bending Time is a groove-driven fusion of nostalgia and originality, drawing listeners into a likable funk-rock vibe that progresses from rhythmic and fun to evocative and satisfying in its melodic prowess.
Rocking through for a near five minutes, Bending Time beholds two distinct sections that are easily recognisable. These are the high and low guitar snaps and the central groove they connect with, and the subsequent moments of soulful interlude or melodic long-form expression from the lead guitar.
The contrast works beautifully, we get a kind of Americana swagger on the one hand, a touch of indie rock and funk in that live, rhythmic unity and distortion, and even something a little more provocative and conceptual – not least of all thanks to the carefully selected title and artwork that further elevate the track’s ability to transcend the limits of the present moment.
Omer B is a passionate and consistently hard-working creative guitarist, whose skill is always matched by his love for playing, and this quality shines beautifully throughout the evolution and growing passion and power of Bending Time. The track is mildly psychedelic during its latter half peak, and the guitar solo presents a powerful shift from the familiar dynamic, to gift listeners a clear moment of captivating escapism that’s both impressive and moving.
