Following the release of a couple of well received ep's , Kudos
Records proudly presents Unforscene's much anticipated first full
length release, Pacific Heights. Whereas much of the nu jazz scene
seems to have locked on to a formula, Unforscene (Will & Ben
Bower), have spent time honing their sound and fusing many musical
forms to create melodies which subtly examine the human condition.
Jittering latin, cinematic Schifrin, jazz inflections, a dash of
acid with a side order of heart on sleeve. The whole is more than a
sum of the parts and signals the arrival of genuine talent. With
the recent crossing over of acts like Zero 7 and the success of the
Memphis label, Unforscene are due their place on the podium.
Earlier this year they providing the key track to "Another Late
Night with Fila Brazillia", and a well received remix for EPB
quickly followed. Both Eps (The Sulstan Connection and Remote
Viewing) have been unanimously well received.
"...shot through with the same swaying, stardust-strewn sound
(think Zero 7 meets Cinematic Orchestra) that has already gained
them a loyal following, 'Pacific Heights' has a mind-boggling,
lush, laidback quality to it. Building intricately intertwined
sounds (including live instruments and post-modern
'conscious' dialogue snippets) into gently bubbling cinematics,
Unforscene have created nothing less than an enigmatic minor
classic. Go get. 4/5." --kudosrecords.co.uk
