Grown 2pm

Pulsing Afro-Latin roots and UK jazz combine on Grown, the latest album by London-based quintet Waaju, released via Olindo Records. Fusing dexterous hand-percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs and soaring melodies, Waaju connect a wide range of traditional musics percolating at different corners of the global soundscape yet with a distinctly of-the-moment and British jazz flavour…

Rattlemouth is Richmond, Virginia's band. Featuring the saxophones of Danny Finney, the angular rhythm section of Robbie Kinter (drums) and Wayne O'Bryan (bass), and the guitar of Stephen Williams. The sax and bass are dominating here, going berserk at times, and more subtle in other instances. Sometimes going more towards jazz-rock, and in other tracks towards a more disjointed and adventurous path. Comparisons have been made to French RIO band Etron Fou. The music has a kind of groovy feel to it; maybe not music to dance to, but definitely music to move to and enjoy.
Fourth album four years after previous album was released. From very first moments you hear very solid sax and supporting jazz-rock band…

Instrumental Organic Rock! It grooves. It flows. It's psychedelic. It's tough … Anfänglich stark durch Stoner-Einflüsse geprägt, sind es nun vorrangig Elemente aus dem Psychedelic-, Alternative- und Progressive-Rock, die den Sound der Berliner Band charakterisieren. Harte Gitarrenriffs wechseln sich ab mit sphärischen, ausufernden Klangteppichen, unterstützt durch kraftvoll treibende Grooves von Schlagzeug und Bass.
