Our Take

Mephista's latest offering, "Black Narcissus," is a wild and mesmerising ride through the depths of avant-garde jazz. As soon as you hit play, you're whisked away on a sonic journey that is as unpredictable as it is enchanting. The album is an eclectic mix of genres, with elements of free jazz, electronica, and even hints of post-punk seeping through. Tracks like "Midnight Serenade" and "Dark Matter" showcase Mephista's mastery of blending dissonant chords with haunting melodies, creating a sound that is both ethereal and gritty at the same time. The musicianship on display here is truly next-level. Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier's intricate playing is complemented perfectly by Susie Ibarra's thunderous drumming and Ikue Mori's otherworldly electronics. Together, they create a sound that is at once chaotic and controlled, like a symphony of controlled chaos. But what really sets "Black Narcissus" apart is its sense of playfulness. Mephista aren't afraid to take risks and push boundaries, resulting in an album that feels fresh and exciting from start to finish. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or just dipping your toes into the genre, this album is sure to leave you captivated and wanting more. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
