Description
When we open a jigsaw box, we see a pile of disparate pieces, each with their own identifying characteristics. To assemble, we need to understand the logic of the shapes and how they might fit together. Eventually we need to zoom out and consider the big picture. On his Cuneiform debut, Antumbra Ensemble, guitarist / composer Henrik Olsson has assembled eight musical puzzles, each unique in form and function. Olsson's approach references artists like Henry Threadgill's groundbreaking Very Very Circus band-a unit that remains instantly identifiable through labyrinthine structures-and Rock In Opposition artists, namely Henry Cow, who essentially made unpredictabilitly their vocabulary. Antumbra Ensemble is a wild adventure that blends an ever-evolving palette with a strong penchant for deep, shifting grooves and melodies that are both varied and catchy. It is a puzzle you'll want to hear. RIYL: Henry Cow, Henry Threadgill, Sun Ra, Blast, Marc Ribot, Frank Zappa
