A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here ': ,: captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, :, : focused energy. Surveying the album's running order, it could : :' easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London's ': ,: most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. :, : Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London : :' studio, the results speak for themselves: they're a window into ': ,: the wide-eyed future of London's musical underground. :, : : :' The album bottles up some of the vital ideas emanating from ': ,: that burgeoning movement. A reflection of how London's :, : jazz-influenced music has reached outward into new spaces, the : :' sound of the record draws from a wide pool. There's plenty of ': ,: crossover between each of the groups, too, speaking to the :, : close-knit circles which make up the scene; shared line-ups : :' reflect the mutual cooperation and DIY spirit which are ': ,: second-nature. :, : : :' Ubiquitous, much-lauded saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings is the ': ,: projectÆs musical director. His own recent projects span from :, : South Africa-connected, spiritually-minded jazz players Shabaka : :' and the Ancestors to Sons of Kemet, who match ': ,: diasporically-connected compositions with viscerally-direct live :, : shows. His input ties together a deft, genre-agnostic : :' sensibility that's shared through all the players on the ': ,: record. :, : : :' Nodding to spiritual jazz influences, MaishaÆs 'Inside The ': ,: Acorn' is a wandering, explorative rumination, balancing :, : delicate washes of piano and percussion with sharp interplay : :' between flute and bass clarinet. Ezra Collective û whose ': ,: drummer and bandleader Femi Koleoso has toured with Pharaohe :, : Monch û run a tight, Afrobeat-tipped rhythm on 'Pure Shade', : :' with the final third changing gear into a melodic, momentous ': ,: closing stretch. :, : : :' On Moses Boyd's 'The Balance', the drummer û who co-produced ': ,: Zara McFarlane's recent, critically-lauded album, as well as :, : touring with the likes of Sampha û builds a steadily-paced, : :' atmospheric creation, loosening up the rhythm and intensity as ': ,: it progresses. Theon Cross û who's part of Hutchings' Sons of :, : Kemet û starts his track, 'Brockley', with the solo, distinctive : :' low rumble of his tuba. Winding and mesmeric, it sees tuba and ': ,: sax lines winding together in rhythmic and melodic parallels. :, : : :' Showing a similarly controlled approach, Nubya Garcia's 'Once' ': ,: is taut and carefully-poised, her tenor sax guiding a :, : carefully-built energy to an explosive conclusion. Shabaka : :' Hutchings' 'Black Skin, Black Masks' is typically ': ,: difficult-to-define: with an off-kilter, shifting rhythmic :, : backbone, repeated phrases û mirrored between clarinet and bass : :' clarinet û shape the track with an alluring hue. ': ,: :, : Triforce's 'Walls' is a performance in two parts: starting with : :' Mansur Brown's languorous, lyrical guitar, the second half ': ,: switches up to a low-slung, g-funk-tipped groove. Joe :, : Armon-Jones, whose ludicrous chops on the piano have seen him : :' touring with the likes of Ata Kak, showcases earworm-like, ': ,: insistent motifs on 'Go See', balanced with a playful, :, : improvisatory approach with room for ad-libbing and solos : :' a-plenty. Finally, taking a softer tact than many of the other ': ,: entries, KOKOROKO û whose guitarist Oscar Jerome has been making :, : waves with his solo material û spin a lyrical, steady-paced : :' meditation on 'Abusey Junction', matching chanted vocals with ': ,: gently-played guitar. :, : : :' Recorded over three days in London, August 2017.
