[ October 2018 release from HUBRO – Moon Relay – IMI ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release: 12.10.18

Drawing on the fractured funk and machine-aesthetic of late Seventies/early Eighties post-punk and No Wave bands, plus the motorik-meets-electro rhythms of ‘Planet Rock’-style hip-hop, the third full album by Oslo-based experimental rock quartet Moon Relay combines pin-sharp, real-time musicianship with a powerful conceptual punch. It’s a world where buzz-saw guitars mesh with disco handclaps on a series of hypnotically immersive instrumental grooves intersected by avant-garde collages of found sound and studio doodles.

Coming tomorrow , all day Brighton Alternative Jazz Festival 2018 marathon is looking really good and full of treasures.

[ September 2018 release from HUBRO – Møster – States Of Minds ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

It is a 4th Scene of The Møster band under that squad , hard to be precise about order if taking on the account all acts from the past , as Kjetil Traavik Møster might be not that old all together, but his output is already massive and seriously impressive, given all inspirations.
