727/16
Ansible, 2022
8/10
A project spearheaded by Christopher Shannon (of Bart and Possum) and Benjamin Pullia, the pair have expanded on their idea of cosmic house music into this improvised and sonically adventurous brand of fusion.
“727” leads the listen with futuristic, spacey gestures, as the setting is shrouded in mystery that embraces a prog-friendly buzzing where the synth is joined by crashing drums, wild flashes of brass, screechy guitars and whole lot of exploration.
“16” then carries a similar creativity, and emits playful bass, bright percussion, and highly interesting guitar work for the jazz influenced climate that never sits still.
You might draw parallels to Teo Macero or Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry here, and the band’s vision of electronic, fusion jazz makes for an extremely unusual and captivating 20 minutes.
Travels well with: Adams, Dunn & Haas- Future Moons; The Brodie West Quintet- Meadow Of Dreams
