,: Jaga Jazzist return with their new album ôPyramidö on 24 April :,
: 2020, where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece takes a deep :
:' dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. ItÆs ':
,: their first album since 2015Æs ôStarfireö, their ninth album in :,
: a career now spanning four decades, but it marks the groupÆs :
:' debut on Brainfeeder, the LA-based imprint curated by Flying ':
,: Lotus. On ôPyramidö, Jaga Jazzist have crafted a suitably cosmic :,
: sound to match their new label home, all the while nodding to :
:' forebears spanning from 80s jazz band Out To Lunch and ':
,: Norwegian synth guru Stσle Storl°kken, to contemporaries Tame :,
: Impala, Todd Terje and Jon Hopkins. Each of the albumÆs four :
:' longform entries evolves over carefully plotted movements, the ':
,: tracksÆ technicolour threads dreamily unspooling. :,
: :
:' The band, led by Lars Horntveth and his compositions, took a ':
,: direct approach to the creation of ôPyramidö. Whereas ôStarfireö :,
: saw them take the idea of a traditional studio record to :
:' extremity, with different members dipping in and out of the ':
,: booth to write, record and experiment over two years, the :,
: process behind ôPyramidö was almost the polar opposite: it took :
:' just two weeks. Both records were driven by the same curious, ':
,: experimental spirit, but the processes were very different. :,
: Retreating to a secluded woodland studio in neighbouring Sweden, :
:' they bunkered into the studio for 12 hour days. ôThe most ':
,: important thing is that we didnÆt want to over-analyze every :,
: musical ideaö says co-founder and drummer Martin Horntveth. ôWe :
:' wanted to follow the first and original idea and keep the ':
,: freshness.ö For a band which has never settled on any one sound :,
: or style, the continuity lies in their constant willingness to :
:' evolve, experiment and improvise. ':
,: :,
: ôPyramidö is Jaga JazzistÆs first self-produced album (most of :
:' their records being produced by close collaborator J°rgen ':
,: Trµen) and it meant a change in the way they operate. On the one :,
: hand, there were lots of different voices jostling to be heard. :
:' On the other, they didnÆt have an independent figure to make a ':
,: call on whether something was a good idea. ôIt was hard but felt :,
: natural to do ourselves, as five of us are producers and make :
:' records for a living,ö Martin says. The result is an album that ':
,: feels more collaborative than ever. :,
: :
:' Whilst they wouldnÆt describe ôPyramidö as a concept album, the ':
,: band see the track titles as a conceptual starting point from :,
: which the listener can construct whatever story flows out of the :
:' songs. The album title refers to the building blocks which make ':
,: up a pyramid, and how each of the four tracks û and their :,
: constituent parts û fit together. æTomitaÆ is a nod to Japanese :
:' composer and synth player Isao Tomita, and æThe ShrineÆ alludes ':
,: to Fela KutiÆs legendary Lagos venue. Lars says: ôI felt that :,
: this album is a small symphony, each part containing its own :
:' rooms to explore.ö ':
