June 22 by Drazek / Fuscaldo / Drake / Aoki / Jones / Abrams

 

Przemek Drążek and Brent Fuscaldo are back with a new release that they have co-created with their guests.

Previously known under moniker Mako Sica, working now under their own names, they usually work together with guest musicians. This album is no exception. 

Both Brent and Przemek have derived their musical journey from DIY post-hardcore punk idiom. In Chicago where they reside, it is a highly specific musical experience - the formula of what they are working within is a pretty much open dish where spices, aromas, tastes can be blended, mixed and reformulated when necessary.

They work really hard to accommodate and facilitate the talents and skills of guest musicians who take part in the creative process in the equal way as the core members.

Hamid Drake, Thymme Jones, Tatsu Aoki and Joshua Abrams are fully fledged, experienced and talented compatriots of Przemek and Brent, adding their instrumental virtuosity to the album.

How to place and classify the contents of this material? A free form improvised music with an aural presence of ethnic jazz, magnified by a grandiose maestry of compositional skill and grading the dramatic experience of soundtrack. It is a cinematic experience - in the best way possible. A piece of musical poetry, wonderfully designed and composed by musical masterminds.

I am glad that they are being appreciated by more and more opinion making web portals such as Pitchfork and Mojo magazine. They truly deserve more audience and recognition.

 Album is dedicated to Julie, Thymme’s sister.
