[... Maher Shalal Hash Baz]'s orch-pop-meets-Fluxus approach connects with the “One-Second Songs” Red Krayola recorded decades ago, but this time out, Mayo Thompson’s venerable (and ever-changing) vehicle displayed a more conventional dynamic — if the Magic Band and the Mekons are your idea of conventional. Thompson has the luxury of cherry-picking from a 37-year career and cross-breeding the harvest with current members’ strengths: Steven Prina’s louche crooning on “The Letter,” ex-Minuteman George Hurley’s funky support on “Black Snakes,” new violinist Sachi Yoshimoto’s locked-in lyricism throughout. The friction between Thompson’s theory-laden lyrics and his classic Gibson-Fender interplay with Tom Watson is at the core of the band’s appeal, but you didn’t need a reading list to grasp the import of the roiling one-chord closer from 1966’s Parable of Arable Land: “War Sucks.” Happy anniversary.
