Description
MUCH MORE THAN THE SIMPLE TRUTHS
You won't find a ready-labelled pigeon-hole for this astounding music. Rock patterns, the instant composing of jazz, minimalism, slivers of folk, contemporary chamber music: everything appears to evaporate immediately and add up to something new. This music needs no set pieces. Stop and go flow in a billowing current. But nothing is arbitrary here. An ideal formation has been found for this spontaneous playing. Three string instruments plus drums - quite exceptional, just like this music.
qOOlp builds on incisive action just as much as sensitive introspection. Their gossamer is spun incredibly thick: flittering, building up pressure, then once more mildly offensive. All four know that it's possible to play too much. Rather, they define a new terrain, and stride across it with pressing urgency. Like Morse code it hurries through the meters, following a spontaneous dramaturgy, finely honed, and absorbing. It is fresh, rich in ideas and relevant, smouldering, abstract and yet outstandingly animated by a vigorous beauty beyond the well-trodden paths.
