Michał Jan & Immortal Onion: “Digital Relations”
The Polish ensemble behind the Screens LP doesn’t know how experimental it is. The group calls themselves jazz. Sure, the saxophone leads the way on most tracks. But there’s a lot of fantastic and creative chaos to catalog over the course of six tracks – and we’re way beyond “jazz.”
The halting percussion on our highlighted track “Digital Relations” smacks of Steven Reich, or some other repetition maestro, before kicking into a jazz highway burner. Spacey, synth grooves take over the wheel on other tracks.
This is music made with a mash-up, post-genre sensibility that you usually associate with purely electronic artists. But they’re doing it live. With track titles like “OK Boomer,” they’re definitely having a laugh as they go.
Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
Lithe, electro pop with baseline rock textures.
