Saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Caleb Wheeler Curtis is well aware that the delightfully convoluted title that he’s given his ambitious new double album – The True Story of Bears and the Invention of the Battery – will inevitably raise questions.
By way of not exactly explaining that curiosity-stoking mouthful, Curtis points to the Coen Brothers’ Oscar-winning 1996 film Fargo, which opens with the disclaimer, “This is a true story.” He enthuses, “I think that’s a really powerful narrative idea. There’s something in the air right now about what exactly constitutes the truth. But I also realize that the music and art that excite me are often bizarre, confusing, or abstract.”
