Hot on the heels of their debut Double EP The Shape Of
DoomJazz To Come / Saxophone Giganticus Scottish doom-jazz trio Free Nelson
MandoomJazz are back with their first full-length album, Awakening Of A
Capital.
In the
time that has passed since the release of their first double EP on
RareNoiseRecords, Free Nelson MandoomJazz have gone from strength to strength,
touring across central Europe during the summer and capping it off by
performing at the Match & Fuse London Festival and they also received a
personal invitation from Dr. Bert Noglik, the artistic director of Jazz Fest
Berlin to play at the festival.
The
album title is homage to Luigi Russolo's 1913 seminal recording "Veglio Di
Una Città" (from "Die Kunst Der Geräusche") and further develops
the musical crossroads of Free Jazz and Doom / Sludge Rock which is so uniquely
characterized in their debut recording.
Awakening
Of A Capital was recorded in Glasgow, mixed in Italy by sound sculptor Eraldo
Bernocchi, and mastered in the US by Mike Fossenkemper. It finds saxophonist
Rebecca Sneddon, bassist Colin Stewart
and drummer Paul Archibald pursuing a progressive alliance - the
saxophone sounds of Peter Brötzmann and "Interstellar" skronk with
massive rhythmic distortions, all referenced against '80's stoner-doom,
rock-metal and drone noise. The opening track, "Sun Ra," is a
tongue-in-cheekacknowledgement of this marriage."
