Review: Feed LA - More Feed (Mighty Eye Records)

Now what would you call the follow-up to Feed LA's self-titled debut album? Let's have a think about that one.

Feed LA are a bit of an underground super group of German jazz and funk being part Poets Of Rhythm and Faruk Green and you'll find this new 11 track album manages to merge jazz-funk with the leftfield, library and OST; like 'Der Erste Dritte Tag' - jazz, breaks, funk, Chet Baker TV theme.

You might say "wandering detours" and it kind of reminds us of the works of Italians like Calibro 35 or The Offline (see review HERE) at the same time having some tangents of Batov Records' Turkish/psych, primarily due to Jeff Özdemir's bass, check out 'Feed Lala' that's reined back with Michael Treetop Voß (trumpet) and Özgür Bayraktar on keys.

If there was a band leader, perhaps it's drummer Daniel Ray Gahn says that their improvisional style guides the "conversation between players" where you can get something as short as 'Die Risikobegegnung' or OST funk as 'Fash Cash (Up In Stratosphere)'.

The vocals on 'Verschwende den Tag' go a bit Robert Wyatt in German but there's nothing wrong with that: indeed, I think we need more Feed LA!
