If you didn't know already, the team at YATM have a taste for the strange and the visionary and that's exactly what 'The Persistence of Doubt' is: "a 30-minute album built from a live improvisation—Rhodes, synths, bass, and drums that was then pulled apart, looped, layered, and stitched back together".
Who could resist? We're also told, "with flashes of electric-era Miles and a bit of that experimental energy you here coming out of Athens" and we know from Kolida Babo (see review HERE) and 'Athos: Echoes from the Holy Mountain' (see review HERE) that there's no shortage of mesmerising, hypnotic and experimental sounds to be found.
From the opening of 'What Was Has Become' that these guys aren't far behind the Monday night "jam sessions at Nublu in New York City [filled with] raw, onest, vibrant energy.” such as the recent JMMR album, 'Resitance Is Fertile' - see review HERE.
The DJs will be playing this are likely to range of BBC Radio 3's 'New Music Show' (who have recently featured Leo Chadburn - 'Sleep In The Shadow of The Alternator' - see review HERE) and BBC 6 Music Deb "explosive jazz" Grant and her ex-side kick, Tom Ravenscrot; not so much Tony Minvielle on Jazz FM?
I could do with more 'Off' than the other tracks but for a mere £2.50 for the digital album - it's definitely worth the price of the download.
