French Electro/Minimal/Techno goddess Jennifer Cardini second release album
Jungle Rocket plays a unique style of blues we call 'jungle blues' with nods to New Orleans, Chicago, Rhythym and Blues standards, and a smattering of very unique original songs. The band started in upcountry Oahu (Pupukea) in 2007 and been playing ever since. These remarkable recordings are a result of sessions between 2007 and 2011 recorded in the bands rehearsal studio; an old quonset hut. Not quite like anything you've heard … be delighted!
Irreversible Entanglements’ third full-length album OPEN THE GATES is ethereal shards of jagged onyx, a melancholic exploration of the post-colonial debris that surrounds us. Let’s watch and listen, as this platter snakes through the sandy ashes of possible histories, dialogs with a nervous present, and asks to be birthed into a holographic new future. “Together in holy sound!” the band stitches patient anthems out of atmosphere. Pulling from a wider sonic vocabulary than on previous excursions, the agit-jazz found here is simultaneously pre- and post-apocalypse, as bass lurches in a tranced-out loop, horns are up in the track grooves like poltergeists playing in the streets, poetry cascades like a warrior call at a satsang, the drums both wild and refined pulse with uhuru-heart cadence. This is Irreversible Entanglements on new ground; same as the old ground.
