Description
Sha's Feckel has no interest in the jazz status quo. For its second album 'Feckel for Lovers', the Swiss quartet has chosen to emphasize the rock element of its jazz-rock leanings, amping up the energy and crunch by several factors. It's music inspired by its raucous standing room audiences, but there's plenty for the chin-stroking set, too.
The band is part of a new wave of Swiss acts stretching the boundaries of pattern-based, minimalist-inspired music deep into the expansive rock realm. It's comprised of saxophonist Sha and drummer Kaspar Rast - both also part of Nik Bartsch's Ronin - and guitarist Urs Muller and bassist Sarah Zaugg. The group's previous bassist Lionel Gafner performs on the album.
"Feckel is about producing the most powerful, anarchic sound waves possible," said Sha. "We explore all sorts of rhythmic structures that talk to your brain, as well as your body. We try to make uneven meters sound fluid, so listeners can really feel immersed and connected to the music. It's rough, tough, loud stuff, but has a positive energy which allows us to spread love to and through the audience."
Feckel is also a band with a huge sense of humour. Considering it titled its first album Greatest Hits, it won't be any surprise that Feckel for Lovers continues an ironic tradition. 'Feckel for Lovers' showcases a truly collaborative band with a visceral determination to push itself beyond its comfort zone.
