Moritz Von Oswald Trio – 'Sounding Lines' 2 x LP

The fourth installment from the Moritz Von Oswald Trio, this time handing over percussion duties to the co-architect of Afro-beat, the legendary drummer Tony Allen. Alongside original member Max Loderbauer, the trio embark on a new and deeply charming chapter of elemental rhythm and sound exploration, positioning them ever closer to some modern day version of the Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza. Dub is still the foundation, and jazz the teacher, but the languid roll of Allen's drums and Loderbauer's lissom bleeps now hint at a sort of retro-vintage Afro-futurism; a filigree brand of psychedelic, radiophonic jazz-funk.
