Seem to be totally under the 'scene' radar this pair, and no doubt all the better for it. Album (out on Planet Mu) is gorgeous stuff.

Yeah, I really love the album. There are loads of free mp3s floating about too. But the lack of hype at home might be something to do with the fact that they're not gigging yet which could work in their favour - bands tend to be picked up once an album's out and hyped for the early gigs until someone else comes along. It'll be much slower without live shows but as they keep recording, the buzz will grow.
 
thats terrible. they should get someone to trawl round the internet hyping them in good time for the live debut.

Ha well there's no need really. Hot Press won't touch them but sites in America are raving about them. So expect the venerable mag to grow some balls and feature them this time next year, á la Adebisi Shank.
 
Yeah, I was the same for those initial seconds, but the drumming and clarinet made my ears prick up. Really excellent stuff. Very Jaga Jazzist-ish at the moment but they sound like they could do anything...they seem to be bursting with ideas. Definitely one to watch.

It's lovely.
 
it's better then much of the stuff on the newest battles album!

This is true. Not feeling the Battles album at all, at all.

Similarities for sure, but there's less by way of effects/samples/mangling than Battles on these tunes. Would liken them more to "Standards" & "It's All Around You" -era Tortoise with a pinch of Jaga Jazzist (who I suppose were heavily influenced by Tortoise too).

For a debut ep though, ::clef::!ninjaaaa:eek: .|..|
