Jaga Jazzist - Pyramid on CD

Description

Jaga Jazzist return with new album "Pyramid", where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece takes a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. It's their first album since 2015's "Starfire", their ninth album in a career now spanning four decades, but it marks the group's debut on Brainfeeder, the LA-based imprint curated by Flying Lotus. On "Pyramid", 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 Stale Storlokken, to contemporaries Tame Impala, Todd Terje and Jon Hopkins. Each of the album's four longform entries evolves over carefully plotted movements, the tracks' technicolour threads dreamily unspooling.
