Description
Two years on from their highly praised work The Vampires Meet Lionel Loueke, (top ten releases: All About Jazz) The Vampires return with a new offering: Pacifica.
The Vampires are trailblazers for a new generation of creative jazz talent from Australia, having gained critical attention worldwide by pushing the genre into new realms. Creating a distinctive sound that is undoubtedly their own, the band has garnered praise from US Downbeat ("phenomenal"), UK Guardian ("seductive genre hopping creativity"), The Saturday Paper ("one of my favourite albums of the year") and All About Jazz ("gold all over").
Whilst Pacifica sees the Vampires return to the classic chord-less quartet format, the new album is an evolution of the band's sound, leaning further into recording production. 14 new tracks feature the band's primary compositional voices of saxophonist Jeremy Rose and trumpeter Nick Garbett, whilst adding exciting new tracks for the first time by bassist Alex Boneham and drummer Alex Masso.
Over 53 minutes, Pacifica extends what's gone before, weaving the bands diverse world-roots jazz stylistic influences together with subtle delicacy, bringing together moments of spontaneity and composition to dramatic affect.
