Jeffery Taylor (of Climax Golden Twins) leads this quartet through 7 free improvisations and a cover of Wire’s “You Can’t Leave Now.” Spectacular record, short and powerful.
A heavily electronic, multinational group formed around multi instrumentalists Rishi Dhir (Elephant Stone) and Alex Maas (Black Angels.) They’re joined on keys/samples/etc by The Horrors’ Tom Furse and The Earlies’ John-Mark Lapham. The groups found a fantastic sound that comes together into a fantastic sounding album, […]
Two fine works of classic American avant-prog. A little mathy, a little trippy, some great free form and droning passages and (of course) a little bit of jazzy skronk. These guys have a memorable sound that seperates them from the pack. It’s got a sort of […]
A two track indi behemoth from a decade ago that most certainly flew under your radar. Fortunately it got a great reissue in 2014 via Debacle Records, with a new Scott Colburn remaster and killer new art (pictured.) The percussion working overtime reminds me of hard […]
This great early progressive bluegrass/fusion album is still tons of fun to listen to today. A mostly instrumental affair from a 10 piece band of session musicans, Trip In The Country combines new style bluegrass with loose jammy country rock and some welcome influence from the […]
Two things immediately come to mind when listening to this fantastic record. Firstly, it sounds like Acid Mothers Temple if they ever explored a true jazz-rock fusion sound (as opposed to their typical Sun Ra worship.) Secondly, while the whole ensemble is extremely talented and interesting […]
Prolific multi instrumentalist Oli Heffernan delivers sublime psychedelic jazz on his newest solo studio release. It’s atmospheric and groovy with a quiet complexity thats welcome as ambience, but invites repeated close listens. The record is packed with drones and field recordings but retains a mysterious pastoral […]
A lovely ambient album with strong sense of melody thats tempered by a relaxed and fluid idea of rhythm. There’s some strong drones and good low end to the mix. It’s all on “handmade modular synth” and sticks to a consistent pallete across the 5 tracks […]
Debut album by guitar/woodwind player Tunico. Its contemporary Brazilian jazz with a fantastic lineup. There’s blazing fusion at a break-neck pace as well as rootsier moments of folk, funk and samba. A treat for fans of classic Brazilian progressive music, or anybody who loves soulful instrumental […]
