ItÆs ': ,: their first album since 2015Æs ôStarfireö, their ninth album in :, : a career now spanning four decades, but it marks the groupÆs : :' debut on Brainfeeder, the LA-based imprint curated by Flying ': ,: Lotus. On ôPyramidö, Jaga Jazzist have crafted a suitably cosmic :, : sound to match their new label home, all the while nodding to : :' forebears spanning from 80s jazz band Out To Lunch and ': ,: Norwegian synth guru Stσle Storl°kken, to contemporaries Tame :, : Impala, Todd Terje and Jon Hopkins. Each of the albumÆs four : :' longform entries evolves over carefully plotted movements, the ': ,: tracksÆ technicolour threads dreamily unspooling. :, : : :' The band, led by Lars Horntveth and his compositions, took a ': ,: direct approach to the creation of ôPyramidö. Whereas ôStarfireö :, : saw them take the idea of a traditional studio record to : :' extremity, with different members dipping in and out of the ': ,: booth to write, record and experiment over two years, the :, : process behind ôPyramidö was almost the polar opposite: it took : :' just two weeks. Both records were driven by the same curious, ': ,: experimental spirit, but the processes were very different. :, : Retreating to a secluded woodland studio in neighbouring Sweden, : :' they bunkered into the studio for 12 hour days. ôThe most ': ,: important thing is that we didnÆt want to over-analyze every :, : musical ideaö says co-founder and drummer Martin Horntveth. ôWe : :' wanted to follow the first and original idea and keep the ': ,: freshness.ö For a band which has never settled on any one sound :, : or style, the continuity lies in their constant willingness to : :' evolve, experiment and improvise. ': ,: :, : ôPyramidö is Jaga JazzistÆs first self-produced album (most of : :' their records being produced by close collaborator J°rgen ': ,: Trµen) and it meant a change in the way they operate. On the one :, : hand, there were lots of different voices jostling to be heard. : :' On the other, they didnÆt have an independent figure to make a ': ,: call on whether something was a good idea. ôIt was hard but felt :, : natural to do ourselves, as five of us are producers and make : :' records for a living,ö Martin says. The result is an album that ': ,: feels more collaborative than ever. :, : : :' Whilst they wouldnÆt describe ôPyramidö as a concept album, the ': ,: band see the track titles as a conceptual starting point from :, : which the listener can construct whatever story flows out of the : :' songs. The album title refers to the building blocks which make ': ,: up a pyramid, and how each of the four tracks û and their :, : constituent parts û fit together. æTomitaÆ is a nod to Japanese : :' composer and synth player Isao Tomita, and æThe ShrineÆ alludes ': ,: to Fela KutiÆs legendary Lagos venue. Lars says: ôI felt that :, : this album is a small symphony, each part containing its own : :' rooms to explore.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
